Ugh. Look at this.

Number 5. There is NO WAY you can make that in 15 minutes. You have to wash and chop the veg. Wash and cook the rice. You have to clear away the peelings. You have to caramelise the onions -- which will take more than 15 minutes alone when done properly. You have to clear down after yourself.
Chefs who give timings for meals that only work in a professional kitchen where there's a sous chef and potwashers should be ashamed of themselves.

@ravenbait@mastodon.scot not all rice needs washing but yes just cooking it will take 15 minutes after the water is up to boiling. Can't check the linked recipe though as you need to register just to read it.

@ravenbait@mastodon.scot @Wen@mastodon.scot I got irrationally angry reading this tripe. BBC tries to make a shitty compilation of instagram nonsense. The photographs are also shite.
