I love a roast. I mean, I’m English. What British person doesn’t love a roast? But, sometimes whipping up a whole roast dinner seems kinda long.
One day (of summer 2021) I was getting ready to go to a festival in Bristol and really felt like a roast (standard pre-festival munch) but was short on time, so this is how this one came about….
A couple of key tips for a quick roast:
the microwave is your best friend,
don’t stress - it’s all good. The world will not end if your potatoes are ready before your broccoli,
and use a timer.
ingredients:
salmon fillet (optional: if vegan or veggie use substitutes. Beyond burgers are a favourite)
3/4 cup of broccoli
kale
1 carrot
4 baby new potatoes
rosemary
thyme
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 tablespoon of garlic infused olive oil
lemon wedge
S + P
Pre-heat the oven to 220 degrees.
Place your new potato’s and carrots (chopped but not peeled) in a bowl of water and pop them in the microwave for 2-mins.
Next, place them on a tray with some broccoli, a teaspoon of garlic olive oil, salt, pepper and rosemary.
Then, pop them in the oven for 8-minutes.
Whilst they’re cooking, heat up a tablespoon of olive oil on a medium heat in a pan.
Meanwhile, prepare your salmon fillet: squeeze your lemon wedge over the fillet then rub with the remained of the lemon (this creates a sort of glaze, making the salmon nice and crispy). Then, rub in some rosemary and garlic oil, and salt into the skin.
Next, place the fillet into the pan for 4 mins with the lid on.
Whilst this is cooking, massage in a teaspoon of oil, salt and rosemary into your kale and place it into another tray.
When you’re 4 minutes is up, turn over the salmon and add in cherry tomato with a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Then cover with a lid for a further 4 minutes.
After your 8-minute potato timer is done, take out the tray, shake them all about then place it back in the oven for another 8-minutes.
Meanwhile, place your kale in the oven for 2-minutes.
After 2-minutes check on the kale, shake it about and put back in the oven for a further 2-minutes.
Once all the timers have done take everyone out, serve up and munch.
