Garlic & Rosemary Roast Potatoes - Tray 1
Preheat oven to 200°C FAN
Peel and slice your potatoes into 4-5cm chunks. Pop into heavily salted boiling water and par-boil for 7-8 minutes.
Meanwhile, add a layer of rapeseed oil into a large tray. Pop in the oven to preheat.
Drain in a colander and add back into the saucepan. Place the lid onto the saucepan and shake until all of the potatoes achieve a textured exterior.
Remove the tray from the oven. Add the potatoes into the hot oil, be careful and stand back as the oil will splatter. Add a few sprigs of rosemary and around 6 cloves of garlic (skin still on). Season generously with salt and pepper and stir to coat every potato in oil.
Pop in the oven for 20 minutes, then stir and cook for a further 20-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Carrots & Parsnips - Tray 2
Peel & slice the carrots and parsnips. Add to a large baking tray and coat with 2 tbsp of oil, salt and pepper. Optionally add a spice blend (I went for 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp chilli powder.
Stir to coat and pop in the oven for 35 minutes, stirring once halfway.
Portobello Mushroom Stuffing - Baking Dish 3
To a baking dish, add the portobello mushrooms (Facing down) , 2 onions (sliced in half), a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Pop in the oven for 25 minutes. Meanwhile, prep the stuffing according to packet instructions.
Remove the tray from the oven and add the prepared stuffing into a small baking dish. Add the mushrooms (facing up this time) and add a few sprigs of rosemary. Pop in the oven and cook for 25 minutes.
Yorkshire Puddings - Cupcake Baking Tray 4
Add rapeseed oil into 12 holes of a muffin tin. Pop in the oven to preheat.
Meanwhile, whisk all of the ingredients together (apart from the rapeseed oil).
Pour the batter into the 12 holes of the muffin tin and pop in the oven for 25 minutes.
Gravy
To a non-stick frying pan, add olive oil, flour and rosemary. Cook for around two minutes then slowly pour the stock in whilst stirring continuously.
Add the roasted onions, garlic, soy sauce, red wine vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper into the pan. Cook for 10 minutes, until thickened slightly.
Place a bowl under a sieve and strain the gravy. Add an extra pinch of salt if necessary.
