James Tanner is warming our hearts and tummies with his roast autumn veg and rosti potato.
Roast autumn veg and rosti potato: Serves 4
Ingredients:
3 medium beetroots, peeled and cut into 2 inch chunks
2 peeled parsnips, cut into 2 inch chunks
1 butternut squash, peeled and cut into 2 inch chunks
1 large red onion, cut into wedges
Zest 1 lemon
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper
2 handfuls shredded kale
2 tbsp clear honey
6 sage leaves, shredded
80 g goats cheese or feta
Method:
Preheat oven to 220c/gas 7. Put the beetroot, parsnip, squash and onion in a large bowl. Toss with the lemon zest, garlic, oil and seasoning. Spoon evenly onto a roasting tray and roast 30-40 minutes.
Turn the vegetables halfway during roasting so all sides of the vegetables crispen up.
In the last five minutes of cooking, mix in the shredded kale, a drizzle of honey and scatter over the sage
Remove from the oven, and scatter over the goats or feta cheese. Serve with rosti potato.
For the Rosti Potato
Ingredients:
1 large baking potato
Fine salt
Drizzle of olive oil
Large knob of unsalted butter
Method:
Peel the potato then coarsely grate on a box grater. Season with salt and place in a tea-cloth, fold the cloth over the potato and twist to form a ball.
Squeeze any excess water out of the potato. Add a splash of oil to a non-stick pan. Add the grated potatoes and pat down into the pan, adding half the butter around the edge.
Cook gently for 4-5 minutes then flip over. Add the remaining butter and cook the second side for 5 minutes either on the hob, or in the oven with the roasted vegetables.
Slide on to a chopping board and cut into quarters
Serve with the roasted vegetables.
