Pro Chef HATES.. Jamie Oliver's Mustard Lasagna!

Pro Chef HATES! As much as I like and appreciate Jamie Oliver. Yes, I really do! :) This Veggie Lasagna recipe is one of the worst I have seen. Not for tasting bad we can only guess until a point but for trying to make this into something that it is not.

[@diarmuidkuhle8181]

Believe it or not in the first few years of his career he did some really nice tasty stuff. I made some of it. Where he went wrong is just wading into foreign cuisines with zero research done on those dishes and thinking he can just play it off the cuff. Given more familiar ingredients he can actually cook. He also gave an entire generation of university students the confidence to try some cooking without thinking you have to take an entire catering course in order to be able to produce a tasty meal. I do give him credit for that and it's not entirely deserved that he's now just treated as a figure of fun by everyone. He should simply have stuck to what he did well.

I make a bastardised lasagna "soup" for my kids. It came about by accident, I had half a small box of lasagna sheets left less than half a tray of mince (beef) so I fried off the onions, beef and garlic, added tinned tomatoes and mushrooms (anything I could to bulk it out until I got to a store) herbs and cooked it off. I added beef stock and some water and added broken lasagna sheets and simmered until cooked. Sprinkled parmesan cheese over each bowl and that was it. My kids loved it but I am sure I could feel Italy shaking in unison all the way over here in Ireland, as a collective shudder took hold of every Italian, alive or dead. That is still a more authentic dish than whatever this concoction is

[@Timeward76]

When I grew up like 20 years ago there used to be a Jamie Oliver cooking show that happened to be on tv exactly when I got home and was grabbing something to eat after school. He would always have these weird obsessions back then too, especially with citrus. He would make the nicest looking hearty roast chicken, then smother it with lemon and lime and I was so disappointed every time he did something like this. It felt like he made a really nice meal only to ruin it with lemon, lime or oranges every single time. Even 12 year old me was looking at this guy and wondering how he got that popular and if this actually is what people want. Jamie was actually my reason for improvising on a recipe for the first time by cutting out all the stuff I thought was weird.

[@Notsosweetstevia]

[@federicocatelli8785]

To be fair besides the traditional "lasagna" (the Napolitan one that's eaten at Carnival and the more famous from Bologna) regional variations exist that are vegetarian

[@kevwwong]

@@federicocatelli8785 Even if there wasn't, there is nothing inherently wrong with taking a primarily meat dish and doing a vegetarian spin on it. But you can't make a dish, throw some lasagna noodles on it and call it lasagna. That would be like tossing some random noodles into a soup and calling it ramen, and no one in their right mind would do that...

[@GGysar]

My observations about English cooking (not just Jamie's cooking): 1. Peas everywhere. If you don't know which veg to use, add peas, if it's not green enough, add peas, if you want to bulk out a dish, add peas, if they are in season, add peas. 2. They love pairing peas with mint, whether it works in the specific dish they are making or not. Where I would use parsley and nutmeg, they add mint. 3. Cheddar is apparently the only cheese that matters. They will use some parmesan or mozzarella once in a while, but in the end, cheddar is the only cheese they really care about. 4. Vegetables are often burned. Yes, they call it "charred", but they do it to most vegetables (They seem to like roasting veggies in the oven or at least charring them in a pan for some reason) and often until parts of them are completely black, not just brown, but like coal. Maybe I am wrong, but I have seen many English cooking videos and those are the things I observed. At least in this video, Jamie didn't char the veggies before cooking them. Yes, he kinda burned the top of his... thing... and overcooked the veggies, but at least they aren't burned. I mean, come on, yeah, you can cok leaks, for a while, that's not too bad, but peas? They need like...5 minutes, maybe less and just 1 minute in some butter when they are already thawed, just enough to get to know the butter, herbs and spices.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Modern English cuisine is not the same as the traditional

[@GGysar]

@@ChefJamesMakinson I would appreciate if you described the difference. I am not English and as stated just described my observations, which may or may not be an accurate representation of English cooking practices.

[@kimraudenbush427]

I suspect the peashooter was invented by an English boy trying to dispose of his peas without leaving the dinner table....

[@user-bf3pc2qd9s]

Leave our burned vegetables alone. 🇬🇧

[@ADADEL1]

@@GGysar My limited understanding is that modern English cooking is heavily influenced by long periods of first food rationing (during both world wars) and then austerity following the collapse of the empire. Because of this and bomb damage cheap restaurants (which were pretty much except from a lot of the rationing) basically replaced home cooking and a lot of skills were forgotten. If anyone knows better please let me know. I've probably missed something important or gotten something wrong.

So my dad‘s lasagna is basically a ratatouille and a basic cheese sauce, which is layered with lasagna noodles and it taste absolutely wonderful. The ratatouille is roasted veggies like tomatoes and eggplant and zucchini, some peppers and onions some garlic which I’ve been roasted and then they’ve been except for the tomatoes and then everything is then you know sautéed and then he makes the cheese sauce and my family absolutely loves it. It’s one of the things that we all love in are family.

[@jeremycarroll451]

Using mustard is actually incredible if you are making a cheese-based sauce. The mustard heat and flavour completely disappears when you cook it, BUT what it does is massively increase the flavour of the cheese. It allows you to use half the amount of cheese whilst still getting the same impact. It's one of those weird flavour things like balsamic vinegar in ice cream or black pepper on strawberries. Seriously, try it.

[@jenm1]

ooo thank you for the tip!

[@Jeedehem]

Agreed. Also works in mashed potatoes (enhances the buttery aspects with a little sharpness.)

[@ChrysanthemumWine]

At this point it feels more like vegetable casserole with pasta sheets instead of a lasagna

[@AlmightyAphrodite]

I was thinking the same thing. Fits way better than calling it a lasagne, just a veggie pasta casserole. 😅

[@woodendoorgarage]

I honestly think that Jamie Oliver started to mislead people few years back. He targets famous dishes people love and makes unthoughtful rubbish while pretending it is healthier, quicker version for home cooking. It reminds me of miracle weight loss recipes. I suspect he just does not give a flying F as long as it gets him views and exposure so he can sell another cook book. Even average home cook like me can figure better version of vegie lasagna. Just use pan to cook everything, make red sauce with vegies, put it in a bowl, make bechamel, layer everything as lasagna in baking dish and bake it. Most people do not have oven-safe pans anyway.

Then he got to Jamie's apartment, they made fresh pasta with egg yokes and made cheese tortellini's and a sauce and it looked so good I made it myself and it was fantastic! This thing, I do not want to make, not even for my vegan sister. Your facial expressions throughout the video were great, I laughed and really enjoyed this one a lot!

[@bcaye]

It's not vegan. It might be okay if he didn't keep insisting it was in any way related to lasagna. Hence using more suitable pasta.

[@katiekorell9776]

Exactly. Jamie knows better. He could have added any fresh pasta and called it a casserole. He chose to offend everyone's palette by calling this lasagna. Then the choice of vegetables....the mustard....the burning. I dunno what has happened to him. Maybe he's out of ideas.

Funny how you catch some of Jamie's accent and toss a little bit of Brit in there yourself. It's cute. It happens when you live somewhere for a long time, I know. I lived in Scotland for two years in the late 1970s and STILL, when I come across a Brit in any context, I start to hear myself saying 'oh, aye' (I'm American) and mention 'dustbins.' As I said, so cute. And you are right about the 'lasagna' - it's a British pea and cheese one-pan supper.

My mom has like 5 Jamie Oliver cook books and there have been multiple occasions where she announced cooking his recipe and invited me over for dinner. I guess she really liked Jamie. But on most of those occasions we ended up eating a 'back-up' frozen Dr. Oetker pizza from the grocery store. And she's generally a really good cook. There were exceptions though where something truly delicious came out, but I'm honestly not sure if those were my mom's cooking skills or Jamie's cook books. Perhaps a combination?

[@mm-yt8sf]

i like to add a topping of glass shards for textural contrast to the mashed peas 🙂 while i don't think foods have to be religiously followed recipes and a little deviation can be fun at some point if it deviates too much calling it by a traditional name would just be misleading, like if i made something that was shepherd's pie and called it lasagna or vice versa it would just confuse diners. though maybe it might happen in experimental foods like "close your eyes and sip this cocktail while thinking of a pizza and smelling this incense....and tell me what you taste..."

[@L83467]

yeah but its not like jamie oliver is serving this at restuarants. his video is directed to home cooks and he is upfront that it isnt authentic by calling it a 'summer vegetable lasagna' and the thumbnail shows that its not a normal lasagna. he isn't misleading anyone. i mean, dont get me wrong, its quite far from a real lasagna, its more of a casserole but its not that big of a deal

[@a.h.9902]

​@@L83467 i disagree, i find it misleading. If he had called it "a different way to use lasagna sheets" , ok. Still not a very good recipe for home cooks in my opinion. Too much work and making the ingredients worse instead of shine. Take out the asparagus, lightly pan fry, salt &pepper, dash of lemon juice and lemon peel, top with lightly toasted almonds. Dont mash peas/beans, hold the mustard, use mint sparingly if you must, layer peas/beans and leek in bechamel with pasta sheets, top with grated cheese, bake and enjoy? Keep your pesto jar for a quick meal/nothing in the fridge sunday. I am puzzled by this recipe, but to each their own.

I confess I often have trouble with almonds, even just toasting them. They'd probably be fine if I could focus on what I was doing with them, but I'm invariably trying to toast them while doing a half dozen other things and they don't have to go very far before they've gone too far.

[@gatovillano7009]

at 10:33, I figured out what Jamie is trying to do. He's playing around with a medieval British lasagna recipe. Most of what he did is actually not wrong. All he did was add veggies to the Medieval recipe to make it more nutritious. Here's a video from the channel ''Tasting History'' with the recipe I'm talking about kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZrPnHSMf7F1i7s

That's not lasagna

That recipe looks more like Lasagna-Sheets with stuff on it.. But as stated often,... Just using lasagna-sheets, doesn´t make a dish a lasagna..

According to the ol' Google Fu, lasagna originated in Ancient Greece and Rome popularized it after conquering Greece. Italians apparently just added their take to it and perfected it.

[@gatovillano7009]

@@blueveex967 Well, the dish you consider lasagna did not exist back then and there were a multitude of recipies with the name. Since the english recipe predates what you call a lasagna, I guess your lasagna isnt a real lasagna after all. You see where this logic takes us?

It's incredible how Jamie puts so many various coloured food items in this dish and it comes out a dull unappetizing greenish grayish coloured dish.

[@RurouTube]

If the only thing that made that dish a lasagna is the lasagna sheet then I can easily make a lasagna. Personally, as far as the ingredients goes, I don't hate it, although I'm not sure about the mustard. But I will use other type of pasta instead of lasagna sheet, probably other type of pasta that is already bite sized. I'm not sure using lasagna sheet is the correct choice of pasta here.

[@thejunglekitchen]

I have a friend who used to work at "Jamie Oliver's Italian" in Sydney- he says it was rubbish. I'd love you to look at the Sorted Food paella video. It's not a total disaster, but it is very questionable. By the way, I love your slightly English pronunciation on a lot of the words in this video- not sure if was on purpose or if it's just because you used to live there. My accent is a bit mixed up too because I'm from Oz with Scottish parents and a hubby from the US.
