… Grilled Corn & Crunchy Tortilla Salad
It’s been a bit of a slower start to the Christmas cooking than I’d have thought – but there’s still plenty of time. This meal is particularly exciting looking. Beautiful colours and it’s a jerk recipe. The Jerk chicken dish in Jamie’s 30 Minute Meals is one of my favourites and so this has a lot to live up to.
This meal has a long list of ingredients – it must be among the longest in the book. From experience this always means the chances of doing it in time is reduced.
Making this one was fun and very much in the usual rhythm of a 15 Minute meal. The meat is cut, flattened a bit and seasoned (to add flavour and reduce cooking time), the veg, herbs etc. that go into making the sauce are whizzed up in the food processor, and of course there is a salad to make and a bit of yogurt to top things off.
The salad bowl you make with the tortillas is a bit of an unusual idea but pretty cool.
This is a lovely meal. It went done really, really well with my family. Definitely one to remember.
