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.

I’ve used chickpeas in this, but the curry base is adaptable; just add your choice of protein. A squeeze of lemon adds vitamin C to aid iron absorption and mixing quinoa with rice increases your intake of high-fibre wholegrains and protein.

Miso salmon & veg traybake

Throwing all the ingredients onto a tray and letting the oven do the work allows me time to tackle that never-ending to-do list. The miso marinade is super-versatile, too. It goes well with any flaky white fish or boneless chicken thighs. I like to double it up for drizzling over veg.
