OCADO MEALTIME MASTERCLASSES: A UK FIRST COOKALONG

Posted on by

Ollie Lloyd and Catherine Balavage

As Ocado continues to campaign for the nation to remix the recipes they regularly concoct, they offered lucky participants the chance to cook along live with the Great British Chefs Galton Blackiston, Simon Hulstone and Josh Eggleton via exclusive Google+ Hangouts. These consumers were able to interact directly with the chefs receiving cookery tips and five-star advice whilst ultimately experiencing the heat of a professional kitchen in the comfort of their own home. I was lucky enough to take part and had a lot of fun.

Those who chose to simply sit back and watch the chefs, could see the whole thing live on Ocado’s YouTube channel www.youtube.com/ocado. Fun fact – streaming to YouTube from Google+ is a UK cookery first!

Now the live cook-a-longs with Britain’s greatest chefs (all of whom have been awarded Michelin Stars) are easily accessible to everyone via the Google Ad Network and YouTube.

The videos feature:

· Simon Hulstone’s curried chicken Kiev with squash sag aloo, filmed at The Elephant restaurant in Torquay

· Josh Eggleton’s Pimms Jelly, filmed at the The Pony & Trap near Bristol

· Galton Blackiston’s Scotch eggs with bois boudran dipping sauce, filmed at Morston Hall in Norfolk

GREG RUSEDSKI’S DISHES FOR FAMILIES: Portabella Burgers

Posted on by

Fancy a satisfyingly juicy, filling alternative to beef burgers? Chunky portabella mushrooms are full of flavour and meaty enough to take a good grilling. For a barbecue, top with cheese, pickles or salad, then just veg out in the sunshine.
Instructions

1. Wipe the mushrooms clean and place in a freezer bag with the olive oil, chilli, garlic, lemon juice and seasoning.
2. Secure the bag, then turn the bag several times to coat the mushrooms evenly, then leave to one side for 30 minutes.
3. Cook over a hot barbecue, or under a hot grill, turning until piping hot and cooked through. Pile into burger buns along with your favourite accompaniments.

Ingredients

* 250g Portabellini Mushrooms
* 2 tbsp Olive Oil
* 1 Red Chilli, deseeded and chopped
* 1 clove Garlic, crushed
* 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
* 4 Burger Buns
* 4 Tomatoes
* 4 handfuls Salad

Serves 4
Total time required 18 mins

* Preparation time: 10 mins
* Cooking time: 8 mins
