Notes

• This dish is very simple in ingredients but packed full of flavour.
• Sealing in all the juices for the first half hour of cooking gives you nice moist finished product and the roasting time gives the vegetables a lovely sweetness.
• You could give it a Mediterranean leaning by sprinkling Italian herbs over it as well but I like it plain.
• If you don’t have a large enough roll of foil pleat a few pieces together so you keep all those lovely juices in.
