Notes

Tip
This dish is very simple in ingredients but packed full of flavour.
Tip
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.
Tip
If you don’t have a large enough roll of foil pleat a few pieces together so you keep all those lovely juices in.
Variation
You could give it a Mediterranean leaning by sprinkling Italian herbs over it as well but I like it plain.
