Urgent Gordon Ramsey Help Needed!!!!!

I think he should cook the winner of the Feed a Family for a Fiver challenge a while back...lamb kofta, coconut daal, spicy potato things and a lemon curd ice cream dessert. I've made it several times for dinner since it won and LOVE IT. It's hearty, delicious and cheap! Personally, I can't get the lemon curd ice cream to turn out very well, so perhaps sub in another cheap dessert. However, the daal is divine and makes soooo much food - and I normally hate split peas! :P

Anyway, Martin, it's a really easy meal to make and would be a great tribute to that wonderful contest you ran a while back.

FOIL BAKED CHICKED WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES

2 chicken breasts
4 sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
1 oz fresh breadcrumbs
2 ozs mozzarella, grated or diced
2 tbsp pesto
seasoning

Preheat oven to 190c
Cut 4 deep slashes into each chicken breast and season.
Mix tomatoes, breadcrumbs, cheese and pesto together and spread over chicken, pressing into slits.
Place chicken on 2 squares of lightly oiled foil. Wrap loosely and place on a baking sheet.
Bake 25 mins, then open up parcels and bake for another 5 mins until cooked.

Simple but sexy, you say? How 'bout me, Martin baby!:rotfl:

Is it against the rules to shoplift, go hunting, go poaching, collect roadkill or buy items with Whoops stickers on them?;)

If none of these suggestions work, I'd suggest a simple vegetable lasagne.

Buy 1 jar of white lasagne sauce, 1 of red lasagne sauce, a packet of lasagne sheets, a few mushrooms, a red onion, a couple of courgettes and carrots, a yellow pepper, a few tomatoes and a chunk of cheddar cheese.

Mix the veg (after washing and chopping and then quickly frying to soften) and red sauce and then add to the lasagne sheets, layered with the white sauce, then topped with white sauce and a good layer of cheese, in the oven at 180C til the cheese is brown. This works out at less than £5, especially if you buy from Aldi, Lidl, Home Bargains, the local market (for veg) and/or look out for supermarket value brands and any special offers and oops stickers. I made a big lasagne the other day for £3.46 and it made 3 meals for me.

Another one voting for using the winning dish from the under a fiver comp.

Martin hasn't made it very clear though - does he have to be able to cook and present the dish in less than an hour? If so then I would expect that the ice cream dish would not work. Although I am on the side of MSE I would think he is looking more for dinner party food rather than the good traditional things like bangers n mash!

Am rubbish at recipies but again assuming you have 'store cupboard' ingeridents, how about Pumpkin soup, mussels in white wine and clafoutis of plums?? All seasonal and cheap(ish!!)

We are having the salmon encrout tonight. Did an early supermarket run just in case salmon is popular today. ASDA has salmon fillets for £1 each. I just bought two of them as there are only two of us here.

If Gordon's doing lasagne aswell it's either go head to head with him, or do something different
