One Vegetable Dish to Rule Them All!

Cooking one main element of a meal can be made difficult enough by over-complicated recipes requiring foreign ingredients which you can only source from remote areas of Eastern Africa... What I'm trying to say is that the side dishes should be straight forward. After doing this once you'll be able to put your own spin on it and never look at the recipe again - allowing you to focus on the other elements! Try pairing this with a simple Roast Chicken recipe to have a super easy meal. Serves 4

Ingredients

Choose from a selection of:

• Swede
• Celeriac
• Carrots
• Parsnips
• New Potatoes
• Sweet Potatoes
• Butternut Squash
• Pumpkin (when in season)
• Courgettes
• Bell Peppers
• Onions/Shallots

I've put the vegetables in a rough guide of hardness (i.e. the one's which will take the longest to cook are at the top, down to the shortest cooking time at the bottom). Choose about 5 vegetables, that'll sort your 5-a-day and give you a delicious variety of vegetables. The season might influence your decision - summer calls for new potatoes, bell peppers, and courgettes - winter brings the best out of celeriac, pumpkin, and squash. I'm also omitting some other veg because this recipe becomes too daunting! But broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, beetroot, green beans, asparagus etc are all good!
