Mini churros with berry compote by Jamie Oliver

Last year, Jess joined Jamie Oliver on his show, Jamie and Jimmy’s Friday Night Feast, and cooked up pan-seared cod wrapped in Iberico ham and katsu curry. We think Jamie’s egg-free churros would make the perfect afters – and kids will love them, too. These take just 15 minutes to prep, so are really easy to whizz together. Serve with the yummy fruity compote.
