The Quick Roasting Tin: 30 Minute One Dish Dinners (Rukmini’s Roasting Tin)

Product Information

With damp hands (I keep a bowl of water nearby), take walnut-sized pieces of the lamb mix and roll them into small meatballs. Dot them among the cauliflower pieces as you go – you should have about 20–22.

Tip the leeks into a bowl, pour over a kettleful of boiling water, and leave to steep for 2 minutes while you get on with prepping the other ingredients. Good user-friendly chapters and plenty of healthy plant-based options, which work for a vegan or flexitarian diet or having in something suitable and imaginative for guests. Each recipe if full of flavour and texture and certainly offers something different than just shoving a few veg on a tray. Taste and season with the lime juice and more salt as needed, scatter over the fresh coriander and chopped chilli to taste and serve with flatbreads or white basmati rice.

If using frozen peas (100g), defrost in the microwave or soak for a few minutes in boiling water, then drain. Tip the tomatoes and their vines, the green pepper, onion, ginger, all the spices, salt and oil into a roasting tin and mix really well to coat everything evenly. Handle: Handles or a lip can make moving the tin in and out of the oven easier, but handles that are too high use up valuable oven space. We discounted handles that were either too small, too high or seemingly pointless. Simply add your ingredients to a tin, pop it in the oven and hey 30 minutes to yourself, a delicious meal, and minimal washing up! Transfer to the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, until the pastry is crisp and golden brown. Let the pie sit for 5 minutes before serving hot.

Perfect for experimenting with new foods and for making enough to keep some for lunch the next day.Transfer the tin to the oven and roast for 15–20 minutes (if your oven runs hot and things start to char, rescue them after 15). Tip the cauliflower, leaves, spices, salt and oil into a large roasting tin and mix until everything is evenly spiced. Who’s the author? Food stylist and writer, Rukmini Iyer is the talented author of the revolutionary, bestselling cookbooks, The Roasting Tin and The Green Roasting Tin. Mix the garlic, ginger, yogurt, lemon zest, spices and salt together and gently turn the salmon fillets over in this mixture. (This can be marinated in the fridge if you are preparing this ahead.)

When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 210°C fan/230°C/gas 8. Tip the cubed sweet potatoes into a roasting tin large enough to hold everything in a single layer, mix them with the oil, cumin and salt, then transfer to the oven and roast for 10 minutes. Once the sweet potatoes have had 10 minutes, tip the cherry tomatoes, their vines and the sliced onion into the tin, and mix well. Use a wooden spoon to make 4 spaces for the salmon fillets and gently pop them into the tin. Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C fan/200°C/gas 6, then return the tin to the oven for a final 20 minutes.

Hobbies

Some really tempting contemporary recipes to try, with simple steps and not too demanding on the fancy-schmancy ingredient front :) Do you often find yourself staring into the fridge looking for midweek dinner inspiration? Maybe you’ve got a drawer full of vegetables and fresh ingredients, but you’re not sure how to turn them into a delicious meal. Meanwhile, mix together the spring onions, ginger, chilli, fish sauce, vegetable oil, lime zest and juice, coriander and peanuts. Taste and adjust the levels of fish sauce and lime juice as you wish. It’s such a simple concept for a book, but the recipes in this book provide the basis for so many great meals! Fish out the vines, squash down the tomatoes, add the coconut milk, prawns and spinach and return to the oven for 9–10 minutes, or until the prawns are pink and just cooked through.
