Lemon Pickle Jamie Oliver recipe. This pickle is ready in an instant; well 2 minutes anyway!
Such beautiful colours and dead easy to make.
From his book 30 Minute Meals. In his book, Jamie serves this with his Rogan Josh recipe.
Top Tip!
When you get to this bit: When everything starts to sizzle, add the sliced lemon and a pinch of salt, count to ten. I say to cook for a minute or you'll find the lemon rind is quite hard.
Did you know?
Lemons are a great source of vitamin C and fibre, lemons contain many plant compounds, minerals, and essential oils.You can, of course, serve this with pretty much any Indian curry but I tell you what, I recommend you also make Jamie Oliver's Bombay Potatoes; they are seriously good.
Bombay Potatoes are from his book Jamie's Great Britain.
