Curried Roasted Veggies
No Thermomix required but so delicious & really simple. Perfectly accompanied by meat/fish of choice or vegie up for a great vegetarian meal.
I'm not sure this belongs in the Meatless Mains section, but it's not a salad and not a main with meat...not really a side and we all know it's not dessert...so meatless mains it is.
It has cooled off a little where I live and so it seemed appropriate to roast a few vegies. There are always plenty around and so I bought up big on the carrots, parsnips and my absolute fave, fennel. What to do? Well make them better than just the norm, everyday, run of the mill roast vegies.
But I digress, so with a fridge full of stuff, I had a quick browse through some of the many many cookbooks I have managed to accrue over time and saw a few ideas that I liked. This is a combo and not really attributable to anyone specific but it did start with my friend Yottam. Whom I love. A lot. The vibrancy of his food is just a delight. It is overflowing and generous and colourful and a feast for the eye and the heart and of course the palate.
Anyhoo, I channelled my inner Ottolenghi and this is the result. Beautiful, tasty and really really easy. Go and channel....go on. You know you want to.
