It\u2019s turning out that my brother\u2019s Christmas present of Jamie Oliver\u2019s \u201c5 Ingredients<\/a>\u201d is the gift that keeps on giving. Not only have we found some great recipes in general but it\u2019s always good for a sheet pan recipe when I\u2019m short on time and inspiration.<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s meal, a savory pseudo bread pudding with beans and bangers, turned out to be just what I needed.<\/p>\n

It may have been recommended for when the weather requires something hearty, but it has the side benefit of being relatively quick in the oven so it worked well in the heat. And let\u2019s be honest, once the Midwest got warm, it got real warm and so the A\/C has been going for weeks now.<\/p>\n

Despite the 5 ingredients moniker, Oliver does supplement it with up to 5 pantry staples (the same 5, FWIW), and he suggests that the base ingredients can be added to. So, I tweaked his a bit.<\/p>\n

First of all, our garden has been just full of green beans thanks to a freebie of provider beans<\/a> from Seed Savers, so I figured I could throw them in and add some more veggies. And second of all, I couldn\u2019t find rosemary focaccia for some reason, so I used olive and pepper varieties but still supplemented with rosemary because who doesn\u2019t love rosemary.<\/p>\n

Also, it calls for a British sausage that I can\u2019t find and didn\u2019t bother to try to replicate. Instead, I turned to my favorite meat-monger<\/a> and bought another British sausage, bangers. I think any sausage will work; bangers certainly did. Oh, and British measurements are hard to get right without extra work, so I changed them to clip up everything.<\/p>\n

Other than all those changes, I mostly followed the recipe and had a delicious dinner in no time. I\u2019m bookmarking it for the winter when I\u2019ll surely turn to it again.<\/p>\n

Despite what you’ve heard, British food can be freakin’ fantastic.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
