Right, roasted vegetables.
Roasted vegetables are fantastic. Absolutely amazing. The theory is pretty simple
Parboil your veg, salt and pepper, little bit of olive oil, bit of herbage
and then vinegar or acid is really important, I think, in roasting veg. Noone
does it I think it makes it. What I'm gonna do is, in the bowl
I flick in my salt and pepper
rip up some whole sage leaves, maybe tear up and muller up. We've got the nice white wine vinegar
a good old lashing of that
we've got some olive oil, just enough to coat the carrots
and then we've got our lovely carrots
and then we've got mister garlic.
So look in there, right, we've got everything going.
Start tossing it up.
I've got
my roasting tray here
I'll put a bit of olive oil just to get them all going in there
and you just lay them
like that
and there you go
there's that carrot story. We start again, so we go, salt and pepper
orange this time
and then we got thyme
and then we got your purple carrots
olive oil
we can put these here
and they shouldn't affect each ofther too much with the old flavour
you know the juices might sort of go here and there
it's not the end of the world
salt and pepper
marjoram oregano
lets go the lighter beetroots
red wine vinegar
nice
olive oil
lets have the rest of that garlic
make my life easier and just cut the whole fella up. The garlic, herb vinegar, pepper, salt,
marjoram that's going to be a joy. An absolute joy to eat.
So we take that
and put that there
finish with the purple beets, salt and pepper
rosemary
take off whole leaves, balsamic vinegar
tiny bit of olive oil
and mix that up in your hand. I'm just going to put that
at the end here
that is exciting. All I have to do now is
pop it in a roasting hot oven
about two hundred and twenty
for about twenty minutes/ half an hour, or, until lovely, golden and sizzling
so just keep your eye on them
Look at that.
That is roast veg.
So if you have gone to the trouble of growing your own
beets, carrots, veggies this is a lovely way to sort of
send them off
in a good way. Bit of respect. Bravery. Simplicity.
Look at that. Full of life
and that's what cooking should be about innit, being full of life.
