Green garlic chutney roast chicken with cumin-spiced vegetables

Served with cumin-spiced vegetables this is the perfect roast dinner to shake up up your Sunday lunch. Scrub the veg well but there is no need to peel them. Leaving the skin on adds nutrients and fibre. Using baby potatoes means you don’t have to par-boil them, but if using other potatoes, slice thinly or par-boil first. If you are feeling adventurous, double the chutney ingredients and try marinating a whole roast chicken for a beautiful centrepiece dish.
