Roasted Veg With Caribbean Dressing Recipes

ROASTED VEG WITH CARIBBEAN DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Peel the veg that need peeling. Cut up your veg into chunks, slightly larger than bite sized. Keep the harder veg to one side.
• Make the dressing by whisking the ingredients together in a bowl - or better yet, process until smooth in a blender or food processor. Set aside.
• Parboiled route: Cook the harder veg briefly in plenty of lightly salted boiling water for about 2 minutes. Drain well. Combine all of the veg together, along with the dressing -- tossing well to coat. Place the veg in a single layer on a large, lightly oiled, baking sheet. Bake, stirring every 15 minutes or so, until all of the veg are tender - about 45 minutes.
• Not parboiling: Bake the veg in sequence. Start by preparing a large baking tray with a light coating of oil. Place the potatoes (white potatoes) and carrots (or other hard veg) on the tray and bake for 15 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes, if using, and cook for another 15 minutes. (You're now at 30 min mark). Remove from the oven and transfer to a large bowl - adding in the rest of your veg and tossing with the dressing. Spread back onto the baking tray in a single layer and return to the oven - baking until all veg are tender, about 45 minutes. (You're now at 1hr 15). Stir occassionally to prevent sticking and watch closely for burning.

• Roast in the preheated oven, giving the pan a shake every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking, for 45 minutes.
• Remove foil and continue to roast, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for another 30 minutes.

MOROCCAN ROASTED VEG WITH TAHINI DRESSING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Spread the vegetables out on a baking tray. Drizzle over the oil and harissa, season and toss well. Roast for 30 mins or until cooked and beginning to caramelise.
• Mix together the tahini, lemon juice, yogurt and 1-2 tbsp water to make a dressing. Stir in half the mint.
• Sprinkle the veg with the remaining mint and serve with the dressing, couscous and warm pitta bread.

ROASTED RED PEPPER & PESTO DRESSING

Steps:

• While the coals of the barbecue are burning hot, char the peppers, turning frequently using metal tongs until blistered and evenly blackened (see tip below for charring indoors). Remove to a bowl, cover with a plate and set aside to cool completely - this will create steam, which softens the flesh and makes the skin easier to remove.
• Gently rub the peels off the peppers and remove the seeds. Finely chop the flesh on a board, then scrape back into the bowl along with any juices. Mix in the pesto or basil, olive oil and vinegar, and season well. Can be made up to two days ahead and chilled until needed. Remove from the fridge 1 hr before serving. Spoon over the fish and veg.
