Food PG Jamie cooks a hearty meal of farfalle made with Savoy cabbage, pancetta, pine nuts and mozzarella; tray-baked pork chops with all the trimmings, and custard tarts.
Jamie is going to the dogs, literally, when he and some mates head into north-east London to spend the evening greyhound racing at Walthamstow’s famous dog track. Before all that, Jamie has got a lot to do. First he’s got to do the shopping, and then he’s got a hearty meal to cook, before he can even think about swotting up on the Racing Post. Supper begins with farfalle made with Savoy cabbage, pancetta, pine nuts and mozzarella.Then there’s just time for tray-baked pork chops with all the trimmings, including herby potatoes and parsnips, before heading off. Eveybody’s feeling lucky, but at least there will be custard tarts to eat on the stands – appropriately carried in home-made doggy bags – if they don’t end up backing a winner.
