Have you got any suggestions for simple 2 ingredient recipes? Not sure if I'll do another one of these but I'd love to know your suggestions! If you liked this, you might like my 3 ingredient playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLfItiEY3o1mvBZFJOaU79HvGLK69xpY_s.html
For april 1st next year do a video on "Best 1 Ingredient Recipes" and do stuff like Ice, dry toast and raw carrots or something. Could be a good video idea
My favorite simple dish right now is pasta with butter and Gochujang sauce (not just the paste). Gochujang is made from fermented red chili paste, and the sauce I buy has toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, and soy sauce added. Talk about flavor town! I think you said some butter was allowed, right? So that makes this a two ingredient dish.
Instead of salt & pepper on the potatoes, I would’ve gone with an Italian spice mix. Alessi makes a “dipping spices grinder” with a good mix meant to go onto oil for dipping bread into that I use. Maybe instead of just oil in the pasta, get a jar of sun dried tomatoes in oil, then you can have bits of tomato in there and that flavored oil in the mix. And I’m not just saying that b/c I’ll regularly do pasta with those tomatoes, capers, Asiago & dipping spices…
Made a jacket potato in my air fryer and it made it even better than in the oven. Crispy on the outside but soft and fluffy on the inside. My poor oven hasn’t been used since I got my air fryer for my birthday the start of this month. Jacket potatoes are such an under rated food too, the perfect vessel for so many toppings.
@@Boogie_the_catI read the general rule of thumb is minus 10% of the temperature and around 25% of the cooking time for the oven. So for 1 potato I did 200°c for 20- 30 minutes depending the size. I check it after 20 minutes and adjust from there.
Should have got a NINJA FOODIE as you can 1. Sear. 2. Slow cook 3. Bake. 4. Air Fry 5. Pressure cook 6. Make yogurts 7. Dehydrate 8. Grill I make cakes, stews, casseroles, curries, roasts dinners, rice, risotto, rice puddings, pies, toasted sandwiches, jacket potatoes, potato wedges, chips and even cook the likes of burgers, fish fingers, sausages, chops, black pudding etc in it Only use the oven now for pizza as it to big for the foodie Curries and sausage casseroles is only like 10 mins in the pressure cooker function
Have you ever heard of smash-baked potatoes? For me, that made me eat a lot more baked potatoes recently. Basically, what you do is microwave a potato until it's hot, then drop it on the work surface so that it drives all that steam into the structure of the potato, causing it to burst open and become all fluffy. Once the potato is in this state, then you oven/air-fry it until golden brown and crispy. Absolutely delightful.
air fryer is an convection oven tho. ;D but a very energy saving one. so i am not surprised it can do stuff you do in the oven normally. I use one cause i am single and it saves alot of money
Two ingredients ideas: Dessert - whipped ricotta with nutella Main - if butter is an acceptable extra, try gnocchi (even fun gnocchi like pumpkin gnocchi or spinach gnocchi if those are available in the uk) with browned butter, and add fresh sage leaves to your melting butter to infuse the flavour Starter - make crepe like crusts using grated pecorino and top them with chopped canned pears
Barry adding oil to the water does NOT stop pasta sticking. It just gives you an oily pan! ... Lots of water lots of salt (much more than you used) (like x3 at least) and a few stirs while it boils will do fine.
I feel like anything common that comes in a condiment packet should be allowed (like mayo, mustard, chili oil, soy sauce, ketchup, honey, relish, hot sauce). You could even do a challenge only using condiment packets for seasoning and/or marinating; and maybe even one using different fast food sauces. Thanks for all the great and informative videos!
Bisquick American style biscuit mix and one can of condensed soup- your choice of flavor. Mix until biscuit texture and roll, cut and bake. Could be meaty, veggie, cheesy, creamy. Your choice.
I love cooking pasta in chicken stock. Did that all the way through my twenties and now I still do it only I add in some frozen veg and a chicken breast too. I still also love crispie cakes with corn flakes and melted chocolate.
Best 2 ingredient recipe I can come up with is one mug of water and a tea bag. Pour water into a kettle and heat until boiling Place tea bag into a mug and fill the mug with the boiling water. 2 ingredients and it makes the day so much better
I made quickie cookies last year! A can of pumpkin puree (400g was what i used) mixed with a box of Duncan Hines cake mix of whatever flavour. I think you were meant to bake for 10-12 minutes. They turned out fantastic! I also added chocolate chips because chocolate is tasty
My aunt does this, but she tosses in 3 more ingredients; sliced black olives, ham and cheese cubes. I usually omit the ham and cheese, just because of price. I can make this 'salad' for +/- $4 US.
Mine are simple but lovely. Cheesey chips. Flavoured microwave rice but just add more chicken/meat and Chocolate digestives with marshmallows microwave till melted.
Loved these recipes, especially the potatoes and the snickers pastries! Some other ideas I'd love to see you try: - Yogurt-flour 2 ingredient flatbreads or naan (to serve with butter) - 2 ingredient fudge - 2 ingredient chocolate banana nice cream - 2 ingredient nutella popsicles - 2 ingredient marzipan cake (marzipan and eggs) - Italian chicken 2 ingredients (chicken breast and italian dressing, baked) - 2 ingredient falafel and cream cheese dip/sandwich or wrap or pitta filling (just falafels crumbled into cream cheese!)/salad topping - 2 ingredient sausage rolls - premade puff pastry and some sausages - 2 ingredient beer or ice cream bread - 2 ingredient hash browns - 2 ingredient baked bean and sausage Greggs style pasties (can also do curry pasties or chilli pasties - tinned meals inside puff pastry!!! AMAZING mid week meal)
Pit the dates, lil bit of peanut butter inside, few chilli flakes or a tiiiinnny pinch of powder. Wrap them in bacon parcel to seal it, then bake it. 👌
I've kindof made the snickers ravioli thing, but not with snickers, I used Dumle, which is chocolat with carmel inside, allergic to peanuts. and i did them in little triangles, they were amazing! Also, I made your basic pizza dough today, it's the best pizza dough ever, I've done it before and it turns out amazing everytime. Love it!
Looking forward to this video. Love these types of videos where you make different recipes and finding out what they come out like. Been subscribed for so long now, you’re amazing Barry! ❤ keep up your good work,
Simplest salad, thin slice cucumber and tomatoes, lay out flat on a plate sprinkle sea salt and fresh ground black pepper. Leave at room temperature for at least one hour. - If you want add fresh herbs and or thin sliced or fine chopped onions or spring onion.
My mother made a poor mans Goulash when times were tough (after divorce). We loved it so much we still make it to this day for our children and grand children. Its very simple: Cooked elbow macaroni (or mini shells). Can of Hunts tomato sauce add butter and salt and pepper. We even make as a side to go with a meats side. It's the butter combined with the tomato sauce that give the sauce its different flavor.
Barry how about potato wedges. Just get a larger potato cut it into wedges and microwave it for 7 mins to get them soft. Then I cover them in olive oil and seasoning and stick them in my NINJA FOODIE for about 20 mins on the bake function to crisp them up Once cooked I drizzle them in HP fruity sauce. YUM YUM
What a great video! My goto 2 ingredient breakfast is banana cookies. I mix a cup of rolled oats with mashed banana and make them for 12 -15 mins. And soup is another easy one :) boiled veg in stock then blitzed in the blender - YUM!
Sweet potato gnocchi tossed in some salted butter bit black pepper 3 ingredients bell peppers roasted stuffed savoury rice any flavour and cheese Another 3 fish fingers topped with parsley sauce in a dish topped with mash like a fish pie my kids love this I add corn to bottom sometime if have in freezer
Great video again. I think you were right to go for snickers instead of bueno. You should get mrs barry and yer two girls to pick 4 random ingredients each and try and make a 3 course meal out of some/all of the ingredients. Allow yerself to use some of the ingredients in more than once etc.
Another option for 2 ingredient pasta is just to use salad dressing. It is usually cheaper than fancy oils and you still get a really great flavor. I use this hack all the time with different dressings. Add some cheese and you get the famous cheesey pasta.
Chocolate mousse with a Mars bar and cream or we like one done with a choccy orange as can grate a bit of the choccy on top. Soup pasta bake (though cheese on top is a great bonus)
@@mrbarrylewis there was the whole controversy a few months ago whether alternative/plant-based 'milks' (soy, almond, cashew, etc) should be allowed to use the word 'milk' because they don't come out of an animal's nipples
I'd love to try Recess peanut butter cups with the puff pastry. That would be amazing. I have to be careful with nuts due to allergies. I want to try the potato dish as well. Mmmm.
One of my go-to 2-ingredient potato dishes is salad dressing potato wedges. I get a lot of heck from people until they try them. Costco here in Canada sells Olive Garden Italian dressing (I am sure other dressings are available). Cut a potato into largish wedges (6?) and coat liberally with salad dressing. Bake at 425F for ~25 minutes on convect (450 for longer if you don't have convection), basically until they are done. SO good and dead simple.
I have done something similar to your dessert before. It was an egg roll wrapper and banana and chocolate, like a little slice and a Hershey's kiss. You could switch the filling for peanut butter or jam. Whatever you want. Then I deep fried them. So yummy!
Good pasta with pepper (I won't even try to write it in Italian) is one of those dishes that are scrumptious but are made from the simplest of ingredients.
I'd simply put some dark chocolate into the pastry, drizzle melted dark choc on top and then garnish with a tiny bit of salt. As for the pasta, adding oil into the cooking water doesn't actually prevent sticking because oil floats and doesn't even have much contact with the pasta. The key is stirring. Stir constantly during the first couple of minutes of cooking and keep the water boiling (a simmer is not enough). And if you really want to use oil, try adding it after cooking and draining instead.
Starter: avokado with shrimp salad. Main: Frozen veggi mix with chicken drumsticks in the oven Dessert: kokos tops. Shreddet kokos mixed in a can of sweetend condensed milk and baked in the oven. 😄👍
Historically and even today in some colder parts of the world, people will bake potatoes and take them in their pockets as hand warmers. And then when they cool down enough, you eat them for lunch. It’s a win win.
I just tried a 3-ingredient dessert from Fiji called _vakalavalava_ - yes, that is the real name. Got it off of Sorted, easy recipe. 4 cups grated casava root 1 cup desiccated coconut 1can condensed milk Mix ingredients together and place in a well-buttered baking tray(a 9"x9" will do). Bake at 180ºC/375ºF for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Cool, cut, and serve. It's nice on its own with plenty of texture and a mild sweetness. I like topping it with a little cinnamon and a toasted marshmallow. Lush. Edit: Since you asked, I'd use a cark chocolate peanut butter cup in that dessert ravioli. I know Trader Joe's/Aldi North sells them, can probably get them other places, too.
You dont need to put oil in your pasta water. It doesnt do anything at all except look like a homemade lava lamp... Just add salt to your water and keep your pasta moving.
My husband had two ingredient recipes. Bread and butter, rice and beans (with mahatma rice, a seasoned rice mix) and we would make ice cream sandwiches with premade dough and strawberry ice cream.
oil and season potatos. microwave 3.5 minutes. air fry high 8 minutes. may need to adjust times. this is for a single potato or 2, if you're doing a lot, you might as well use the oven.
It all looks DELICIOUS but lol yeah, gonna need to add extra to ours like the sausage. Cause if I tried to serve no protien, my family would rebel haha
Me and kids make 2ingredient pastry using puff pastry and Nutella poss class as 3as add a small sprinkle suger on top of pastry as it cooks. Do potato skins alot but I use cheese savoury filler in them. Coffee mouse whisk shot cooled instant coffee with double cream add suger if want to sweeten. Nutella with double cream whisk till over soft not quiet stiff peak set in fridge then top with whipped cream and drizzle more Nutella. Same with biscoff spread
Inspireing! You can do a lot with a little. Here are some that I do: Two Bites Brownies (ready made mini brownies) with mini marshmallows (broiled in the over to get the campfire vide) Banana diped in chocolate on a stick then frozen Puff pasty layered up with a hole in the middle filled with jam Rolled tortilla with flavored cream cheese (pinwheel style) Mashed flavored cream cheese potatoes Pasta with flavored cream cheese Puff pastry filled with flavored cream cheese (I do a lot with flavored cream cheese 😂) Couscous with store bought dressing (or sweet chili sauce) Looking forward to another 2 ingredients challenge!
I live in Florida so the oven for a long time is not a good idea lol i always do baked potatoes for 5-8 minutes in the microwave and then air fry them because if it's super hot, i can just put my air fryer on my back porch lol The oil isn't meant to ever go in the water because it just sits on top. The oil that does make it onto the pasta keeps the sauce from sticking to it. if you do want something to keep it from sticking if you're not putting the pasta and the sauce together immediately, toss it in some good oil after, like you did in the video. Also the baked potatoes are called twice baked potatoes! If you have smooth ingredients, you can pipe the mash back into the shell with a piping bag to make it look pretty if you are serving guests or just bored lol
I'd like to see some 1-ingredient recipes, although that would be more like "how many different ways can I prepare one ingredient for a single dish?" Carrots - roasted carrots glazed in a carrot syrup, carrot crisps, served with some kind of carrot puree/"humous" or maybe fermented carrot sauce (like a hot sauce without the heat). Potatoes are pretty versatile as well, mash, potato scones, potato soup, vodka! More just a fun experiment than a tasty meal idea though.
When a cookbook says "3 ingredients" but then adds water, salt, pepper, etc. I get annoyed, but when you do it, I love it. I really like the idea of minimal ingredient/effort foods, especially as so many young people don't have a lot of experience cooking and regular recipes can be intimidating. It also helps teach basic cooking techniques in a simple way. Series idea: Minimalist Pantry. Make a list of the bare minimum ingredients that you expect anyone to have, then see how many variations of meals you can make. Like, everyone should have an oil - even if it's just clarified butter, salt & pepper, an acid (wine, vinegar, lemon juice), sugar, and maybe basic condiments like catsup and mustard. Think like you are stocking a cabin rental for strangers for a month and don't know what they'd like or their cooking ability, or like you're sending a kid off to college. Once you get pantry stocked, you can only buy fresh stuff (meat, veg, fruit, dairy) to add - not spices, sauces, etc. You could also do more "simple foods that impress". A simple jacket potato like you cooked, done well, is as basic as you can get, but presentation can elevate it. Just do foods that seem complicated but make them easy, like Lasagne. My mom refused to make it becaue it was "too hard" to make. I was so mad at her when I learned how easy it was, and that was even before oven ready pasta made it easier.
@@maxineb9598 Yeah, but when you are a new cook, stressed, neurodivergent, and hungry, you count all the items you have to gather up to make a recipe, you don't go " 3 ingredients + spice cabinet"
Bag of instant mash + tin of chili con carne, use 1.5x the recommended water (or more if you want it thinner) and add the chili to make a potato chili soup (Instant mash is generally a really good soup thickener), generally gonna need a pinch of salt else you can tell it's watered down mash. I've been doing this one more often now it's getting colder, real nice to dip a toasted cheese sandwich into Gnocci + tin of soup, put the soup into an oven safe dish, gnocci on top and bake, think shepherd's pie, I like chicken and mushroom for this, up it to 3 ingredients by mixing frozen mixed veg through the soup (Experimental, not attempted this yet) Frozen hash browns + frozen ready meal mac and cheese, let the hash browns defrost and combine them in a bowl, cut the frozen block of mac n cheese into blocks, encase the frozen mac n cheese in hash brown mix, fry in an oven safe pan, bake in the oven after you flip to ensure they're cooked right through. Poverty cooks unite!
Never heard of pre-made sandwich filler. At least not something I've seen at any grocery stores near me, but that's brilliant. Then again, I HAVE seen trays of "chicken salad" at Costco, so maybe?
'Sandwich Filler' in the UK is what we'd call 'sandwich spreads.' Think the Walmart chicken salad that went viral on Tiktok a few years ago, or deviled ham/ham salad. A vegetarian could probably even get away with cole slaw.
I invented the Marathon Toastie, yes it was so long ago that Snickers was known as Marathon. It started of inventing the Mars bar toastie, then changed to Marathon, it's great the chocolate, nougat and caramel melt together, and the nuts get roasted, MMMMM! 2 ingredients.
I think stuff in jars is a great meal cheat anyway. You could also get grilled peppers in a jar, or artichokes, stuffed mushrooms in oil maybe, and add that to a pasta. Then you also have some veg at least😄 because although these are great if you're in a pinch I would suggest a little protein and veg for the diet as well. 😂 Hummus as a pasta sauce is also surprisingly good!
2 ingredient meals are pretty good I think, and more common than one would assume, especially when one item can carry a lot of the flavour. Cherry tomatoes with french onion dip Rice/pasta with cup-a-soup mix [I use potato and leek powder with rice as a side all the time] Penne pasta and pesto, classic Every steak main is essentially just a steak, since you can buy all the sauces premade they would only be one other item, and smashed avocado with no extras is served on toast at restaurants and they charge a bucket for it.
I don't know what you'd call it - whipped cream folded with fresh mashed strawberries and chill them into a mousse? Add them strawberries on top for garnish. my family loves them especially without sugar to enjoy them
1 starter - potato wedges 2 main - baked beans in chilly sauce on toast (you can get the beans in chilly sauce in a tin at the supermarket) 3 desert - ready made pancakes drizzled in dark chocolate
I said during the end of the month low food only. What's in your cabinet dish? Agree with a single mom raising 4 kids. So sometimes the end of the month was scarce food.
If Pasta is "something you have ad home" than I would do truffle oil and pamesan ! For the pastry dough : use nutella role it up and freez it, cut it in slizes and bake. A tin of tomatoes (chopped) and a onion bag soup, if Milk or creme is something you have ad home ad a bit. Buttermilk frozen raspberries and honey in a blender best sorbet ever! Plum jam and joghurt or curd (German word is Quark, hope it is the same) with a bit cinamon (and berhaps cockies, I use oat cockies) perfect. Pasta with a tin of tomatos ad a bit milk (makes tomatoes sweeter) , frozen herbs (eg italien style) and olive oil (if possible ad chees) in the oven..yam. Klassik rosemary potatos...or turnip schnitzel (thum thick slices) or celery root schnitzel (pre boiled for a couple of minutes, turnip longer than celery) sheep chees, cotage chees or kind of in oven salt and pepper...excelent. I could go on 😁
I’d say core ingredients like your premade or the main attention ingredients Anything like spice rack stuff, water, milk, butter, standard oil, sauces that you don’t just use once (tomato sauce, brown sauce, Worcestershire sauce etc) and salt & pepper your everyday items it wouldn’t count as core or stuff you grown or if you have chickens who lay eggs the self produced I’m surprised no one coined in on the chocolate pastries bites Easy to make and the combinations you could make like Milky Way core with a kinder chocolate topping
all i can think of at the moment is cheesie puffs, puff pastry and mature cheese, yummy, you do make a nice funny vid Barry, i know a Gary and a Barry!!
Have you got any suggestions for simple 2 ingredient recipes? Not sure if I'll do another one of these but I'd love to know your suggestions!

Macaroni (cooked)and canned tomatoes with salt and pepper to taste. This is something I grew up eating regularly.
I'm from America what is sandwich filler? Never heard of such a thing
I would’ve liked a wagon wheel pieced up in that ravioli. You’d get chocolate, biscuit and marshmallow all melted up.

@@jlan7844 really? I should test it out the next time I make pasta
You could do baked Camembert as a starter, that’s just 1 ingredient or you could add a drizzle for 2 ingredients

The best hack for keeping your pasta from sticking together is use a big pot and stir every once in awhile.

How about getting some of the big frankfurters cutting in half and covering in mashed potatoes and the deep frying until the potatoes goes crispy ?
‘Cauliflowers don’t have wings’ is just like the classic ‘Almonds don’t have nipples’ 😂😂
I have never heard that phrase about Almonds but I will now use it all the time lol
Almonds don't make milk😂
@@mrbarrylewis there was the whole controversy a few months ago whether alternative/plant-based 'milks' (soy, almond, cashew, etc) should be allowed to use the word 'milk' because they don't come out of an animal's nipples
Buffaloes don't have wings either😂 I know it's really because of their supposed birthplace of Buffalo New York
I'd love to try Recess peanut butter cups with the puff pastry. That would be amazing. I have to be careful with nuts due to allergies. I want to try the potato dish as well. Mmmm.
One of my go-to 2-ingredient potato dishes is salad dressing potato wedges. I get a lot of heck from people until they try them. Costco here in Canada sells Olive Garden Italian dressing (I am sure other dressings are available). Cut a potato into largish wedges (6?) and coat liberally with salad dressing. Bake at 425F for ~25 minutes on convect (450 for longer if you don't have convection), basically until they are done. SO good and dead simple.
I have done something similar to your dessert before. It was an egg roll wrapper and banana and chocolate, like a little slice and a Hershey's kiss. You could switch the filling for peanut butter or jam. Whatever you want. Then I deep fried them. So yummy!
Good pasta with pepper (I won't even try to write it in Italian) is one of those dishes that are scrumptious but are made from the simplest of ingredients.
I think a Mars Bar ravioli would be delicious 😊😊
I'd simply put some dark chocolate into the pastry, drizzle melted dark choc on top and then garnish with a tiny bit of salt.
As for the pasta, adding oil into the cooking water doesn't actually prevent sticking because oil floats and doesn't even have much contact with the pasta. The key is stirring. Stir constantly during the first couple of minutes of cooking and keep the water boiling (a simmer is not enough). And if you really want to use oil, try adding it after cooking and draining instead.
Starter: avokado with shrimp salad.
Main: Frozen veggi mix with chicken drumsticks in the oven
Dessert: kokos tops. Shreddet kokos mixed in a can of sweetend condensed milk and baked in the oven. 😄👍
Historically and even today in some colder parts of the world, people will bake potatoes and take them in their pockets as hand warmers. And then when they cool down enough, you eat them for lunch. It’s a win win.
I just tried a 3-ingredient dessert from Fiji called _vakalavalava_ - yes, that is the real name. Got it off of Sorted, easy recipe.
4 cups grated casava root
1 cup desiccated coconut
1can condensed milk
Mix ingredients together and place in a well-buttered baking tray(a 9"x9" will do). Bake at 180ºC/375ºF for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Cool, cut, and serve.
It's nice on its own with plenty of texture and a mild sweetness. I like topping it with a little cinnamon and a toasted marshmallow. Lush.
Edit: Since you asked, I'd use a cark chocolate peanut butter cup in that dessert ravioli. I know Trader Joe's/Aldi North sells them, can probably get them other places, too.
You dont need to put oil in your pasta water. It doesnt do anything at all except look like a homemade lava lamp... Just add salt to your water and keep your pasta moving.
Barry had a Jessica Simpson moment "Tuna and Sweetcorn" Label totally said Chicken ... I giggled so much
My husband had two ingredient recipes. Bread and butter, rice and beans (with mahatma rice, a seasoned rice mix) and we would make ice cream sandwiches with premade dough and strawberry ice cream.
oil and season potatos. microwave 3.5 minutes. air fry high 8 minutes. may need to adjust times. this is for a single potato or 2, if you're doing a lot, you might as well use the oven.
My dad's name is Gary and we often joke that he's a dying a breed. I haven't met another Gary or any Barrys in my 22 years of living so far
Barry the snickers were small because you bought the multipack. If you buy them singly they are bigger!
It all looks DELICIOUS but lol yeah, gonna need to add extra to ours like the sausage. Cause if I tried to serve no protien, my family would rebel haha
It’s interesting what you’ll make with 2 ingredients, I love the idea and hope you make more of these. 😊
I make Pasta with my favorite Drip as the source. I do cheap in this case as I also add Mushrooms.
I love spaghetti when it's simple! I don't like tomato sauce on my pasta. This is heavenly!
Me and kids make 2ingredient pastry using puff pastry and Nutella poss class as 3as add a small sprinkle suger on top of pastry as it cooks. Do potato skins alot but I use cheese savoury filler in them. Coffee mouse whisk shot cooled instant coffee with double cream add suger if want to sweeten. Nutella with double cream whisk till over soft not quiet stiff peak set in fridge then top with whipped cream and drizzle more Nutella. Same with biscoff spread
The potatoes look excellent, I'm drooling 😍
Inspireing! You can do a lot with a little. Here are some that I do:
Two Bites Brownies (ready made mini brownies) with mini marshmallows (broiled in the over to get the campfire vide)
Banana diped in chocolate on a stick then frozen
Puff pasty layered up with a hole in the middle filled with jam
Rolled tortilla with flavored cream cheese (pinwheel style)
Mashed flavored cream cheese potatoes
Pasta with flavored cream cheese
Puff pastry filled with flavored cream cheese
(I do a lot with flavored cream cheese 😂)
Couscous with store bought dressing (or sweet chili sauce)
Looking forward to another 2 ingredients challenge!
I live in Florida so the oven for a long time is not a good idea lol i always do baked potatoes for 5-8 minutes in the microwave and then air fry them because if it's super hot, i can just put my air fryer on my back porch lol
The oil isn't meant to ever go in the water because it just sits on top. The oil that does make it onto the pasta keeps the sauce from sticking to it. if you do want something to keep it from sticking if you're not putting the pasta and the sauce together immediately, toss it in some good oil after, like you did in the video.
Also the baked potatoes are called twice baked potatoes! If you have smooth ingredients, you can pipe the mash back into the shell with a piping bag to make it look pretty if you are serving guests or just bored lol
Those potatoes with cheese & onion filler, smokey bacon & a drizzle of HP sauce. Ooof. 💯
I'd like to see some 1-ingredient recipes, although that would be more like "how many different ways can I prepare one ingredient for a single dish?" Carrots - roasted carrots glazed in a carrot syrup, carrot crisps, served with some kind of carrot puree/"humous" or maybe fermented carrot sauce (like a hot sauce without the heat). Potatoes are pretty versatile as well, mash, potato scones, potato soup, vodka! More just a fun experiment than a tasty meal idea though.
My grammas family used potatoes at the foot of their beds to warm them during the winter.
my level of cooking!
How about mini Reeses cups for the ravioli?
When a cookbook says "3 ingredients" but then adds water, salt, pepper, etc. I get annoyed, but when you do it, I love it. I really like the idea of minimal ingredient/effort foods, especially as so many young people don't have a lot of experience cooking and regular recipes can be intimidating. It also helps teach basic cooking techniques in a simple way.
Series idea: Minimalist Pantry. Make a list of the bare minimum ingredients that you expect anyone to have, then see how many variations of meals you can make. Like, everyone should have an oil - even if it's just clarified butter, salt & pepper, an acid (wine, vinegar, lemon juice), sugar, and maybe basic condiments like catsup and mustard. Think like you are stocking a cabin rental for strangers for a month and don't know what they'd like or their cooking ability, or like you're sending a kid off to college. Once you get pantry stocked, you can only buy fresh stuff (meat, veg, fruit, dairy) to add - not spices, sauces, etc.
You could also do more "simple foods that impress". A simple jacket potato like you cooked, done well, is as basic as you can get, but presentation can elevate it. Just do foods that seem complicated but make them easy, like Lasagne. My mom refused to make it becaue it was "too hard" to make. I was so mad at her when I learned how easy it was, and that was even before oven ready pasta made it easier.
That's because things like salt, pepper, etc are classed as staples and not included in ingredient count.
@@maxineb9598 Yeah, but when you are a new cook, stressed, neurodivergent, and hungry, you count all the items you have to gather up to make a recipe, you don't go " 3 ingredients + spice cabinet"
Great ideas, I hope you can find enough ideas for a playlist, keep up the good work.😋
Bag of instant mash + tin of chili con carne, use 1.5x the recommended water (or more if you want it thinner) and add the chili to make a potato chili soup (Instant mash is generally a really good soup thickener), generally gonna need a pinch of salt else you can tell it's watered down mash. I've been doing this one more often now it's getting colder, real nice to dip a toasted cheese sandwich into
Gnocci + tin of soup, put the soup into an oven safe dish, gnocci on top and bake, think shepherd's pie, I like chicken and mushroom for this, up it to 3 ingredients by mixing frozen mixed veg through the soup
(Experimental, not attempted this yet) Frozen hash browns + frozen ready meal mac and cheese, let the hash browns defrost and combine them in a bowl, cut the frozen block of mac n cheese into blocks, encase the frozen mac n cheese in hash brown mix, fry in an oven safe pan, bake in the oven after you flip to ensure they're cooked right through.
Poverty cooks unite!
Never heard of pre-made sandwich filler. At least not something I've seen at any grocery stores near me, but that's brilliant. Then again, I HAVE seen trays of "chicken salad" at Costco, so maybe?
'Sandwich Filler' in the UK is what we'd call 'sandwich spreads.' Think the Walmart chicken salad that went viral on Tiktok a few years ago, or deviled ham/ham salad. A vegetarian could probably even get away with cole slaw.
Oh God I need some of those potatoes NOW!!
Love this.
I invented the Marathon Toastie, yes it was so long ago that Snickers was known as Marathon. It started of inventing the Mars bar toastie, then changed to Marathon, it's great the chocolate, nougat and caramel melt together, and the nuts get roasted, MMMMM! 2 ingredients.
Snickerness! My new favorite word.
I think stuff in jars is a great meal cheat anyway. You could also get grilled peppers in a jar, or artichokes, stuffed mushrooms in oil maybe, and add that to a pasta. Then you also have some veg at least😄 because although these are great if you're in a pinch I would suggest a little protein and veg for the diet as well. 😂 Hummus as a pasta sauce is also surprisingly good!
2 ingredient meals are pretty good I think, and more common than one would assume, especially when one item can carry a lot of the flavour.
Cherry tomatoes with french onion dip
Rice/pasta with cup-a-soup mix [I use potato and leek powder with rice as a side all the time]
Penne pasta and pesto, classic
Every steak main is essentially just a steak, since you can buy all the sauces premade they would only be one other item, and smashed avocado with no extras is served on toast at restaurants and they charge a bucket for it.
I don't know what you'd call it - whipped cream folded with fresh mashed strawberries and chill them into a mousse? Add them strawberries on top for garnish. my family loves them especially without sugar to enjoy them
5:44 From Colombia with support mate! I would put Jumbo on those! Its so good! 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🤤🤤🤤🤤
Barry... I think you've jumped the shark with this video... you're just making jacket potatoes.... and what's worse, I'm watching (and enjoying) it!
flavoured tuna (we have chili oil ones here in Australia) with pasta
A delicious pasta dish is literally just pasta, Parmesan cheese and loads of black pepper 😋
I’ve never seen those sandwich fillers in Australia- Yummo!
I reckon you could get some spiced tofu for the vegan version of the spaghetti, fried with the plain oil, would give a bit more texture potentially.
Yes please.... Love Snickers!
1 starter - potato wedges
2 main - baked beans in chilly sauce on toast (you can get the beans in chilly sauce in a tin at the supermarket)
3 desert - ready made pancakes drizzled in dark chocolate
Very clever
Genius! I’d love to be in the Market with you sometime. It would be entertaining watching your wheels turn!
Great idea’s & thanks Barry 😋👍😊
One junk food recipe you can try: Puffed Pastry wrapped cheese kransky's... good snack/lunch right there :P.
I said during the end of the month low food only. What's in your cabinet dish? Agree with a single mom raising 4 kids. So sometimes the end of the month was scarce food.
If Pasta is "something you have ad home" than I would do truffle oil and pamesan ! For the pastry dough : use nutella role it up and freez it, cut it in slizes and bake. A tin of tomatoes (chopped) and a onion bag soup, if Milk or creme is something you have ad home ad a bit. Buttermilk frozen raspberries and honey in a blender best sorbet ever! Plum jam and joghurt or curd (German word is Quark, hope it is the same) with a bit cinamon (and berhaps cockies, I use oat cockies) perfect.
Pasta with a tin of tomatos ad a bit milk (makes tomatoes sweeter) , frozen herbs (eg italien style) and olive oil (if possible ad chees) in the oven..yam.
Klassik rosemary potatos...or turnip schnitzel (thum thick slices) or celery root schnitzel (pre boiled for a couple of minutes, turnip longer than celery) sheep chees, cotage chees or kind of in oven salt and pepper...excelent.
I could go on 😁
Caramello in the ravioli would be amazing.
I’d say core ingredients like your premade or the main attention ingredients
Anything like spice rack stuff, water, milk, butter, standard oil, sauces that you don’t just use once (tomato sauce, brown sauce, Worcestershire sauce etc) and salt & pepper your everyday items it wouldn’t count as core or stuff you grown or if you have chickens who lay eggs the self produced
I’m surprised no one coined in on the chocolate pastries bites
Easy to make and the combinations you could make like Milky Way core with a kinder chocolate topping
Another idea for the potatoes - use canned soup, such as broccoli cheese soup.
all i can think of at the moment is cheesie puffs, puff pastry and mature cheese, yummy, you do make a nice funny vid Barry, i know a Gary and a Barry!!
