Anyone with a kitchen can make delicious and healthy meals in just a quarter of an hour. Jamie’s 15 Minute Meals shows you how. Chef Jamie Oliver shares his passion for food by supplying tips and tricks that make food magic possible.
任何有廚房的人都能在十五分鐘內做出美味又健康的菜色。《奧利佛十五分鐘上菜》秀給你看。藉由提供讓美食魔法成真的訣竅，主廚傑米．奧利佛向大家分享他對食物的熱忱。
On one mouthwatering episode, Jamie reinvents the classic chili con carne. This dish is traditionally a stew of meat, beans, and vegetables that can take hours to cook. However, with a little creativity and a handful of “secret weapons,” the English chef makes it work.
在令人垂涎三尺的一集節目中，傑米重新創造出經典的墨西哥肉醬，這道菜餚傳統上須花費數小時才能將燉肉、豆子以及蔬菜烹調完成，但這位英國主廚運用一點創意和一手祕密武器達成任務。
To get all the flavors together in such a short time, Jamie employs an old battle strategy: divide and conquer. He breaks up the cooking into three parts: meat, sauce, and spices. In a fabulous feat of multi-tasking, he works like a conductor standing before an orchestra. The sounds of sizzling meat, the brightly colored vegetables, and Jamie’s commentary nearly let you smell and taste the food. Alas, as great as this show is to watch, you have to cook along with Jamie to be fully satisfied.
為了要在如此短時間內五味俱全，傑米使用一種古老的作戰策略：「各個擊破」。他將烹飪分為三部份：肉、醬以及香料。在多工作業的高超技藝下，他就像一位站在管絃樂隊前的指揮般地揮灑。火燙的肉嘶嘶作響、色彩鮮豔的蔬菜以及傑米的實況評論讓你彷彿可以聞香及品嚐到這道美食。唉，雖然本節目如此精采，但你必須和傑米一起做菜才能獲得充分的滿足。
Jamie’s chili con carne meatballs dish starts with bulgur wheat. This grain looks like rice, and is just as easy to cook. Jamie improves the wheat with salted lemons, one of his secret weapons. For a little extra taste, he puts a whole cinnamon stick into the pot. As the bulgur wheat steams, Jamie moves on to prepare the meat.
傑米的墨西哥辣肉丸料理從小麥開始，這種穀物外觀似米，也和米一樣易煮。傑米以祕密武器之一的沾鹽檸檬令小麥更好吃，並將整根肉桂棒放入鍋中來增添一些風味。在小麥蒸熱時，傑米開始準備肉。
To get his beef cooked in a flash, he packs some ground beef with spices, and rolls it into balls. For these, Jamie uses another secret weapon called garam masala, a blend of Indian spices. Just like the lemons, these spices instantly insert a lot of flavor. Jamie drops the meatballs into a hot pan and heads over to his food mixer.
為了瞬間煮好牛肉，他將香料塞入碎牛肉並滾成丸子。傑米用的另一種祕密武器稱作garam masala，是一種印度的綜合辛辣香料。就像先前提到的檸檬一樣，這些香料立刻加入許多風味。傑米將肉丸丟進熱鍋，並朝他的食物攪拌器前進。
To form the base of his sauce, Jamie uses a precooked tomato sauce, saving heaps of time. He mixes in more herbs and vegetables with a blender. Finally, after adding beans to the meatball pan, everything is ready to be put together. The result is a beautiful dinner made amazingly quickly. If you are hungry for more, tune in to Jamie’s 15 Minute Meals to see food made beautiful, healthy, and fresh.
為了打造醬汁的基底，傑米使用一種預先煮好的番茄醬，這為他省下許多時間。他將更多的草本植物和蔬菜混入攪拌機。最後，他將豆子放入肉丸的平底鍋後終於萬事俱備，以超快速度做成的一道美麗佳餚成功上桌。如果你渴望更多，鎖定《奧利佛十五分鐘上菜》來看美麗、健康又新鮮的美味料理。
