Served with cumin-spiced vegetables this is the perfect roast dinner to shake up up your Sunday lunch. Scrub the veg well but there is no need to peel them. Leaving the skin on adds nutrients and fibre. Using baby potatoes means you don’t have to par-boil them, but if using other potatoes, slice thinly or par-boil first. If you are feeling adventurous, double the chutney ingredients and try marinating a whole roast chicken for a beautiful centrepiece dish.
Based on 2 servings, adjust as needed.
Tip the coriander, peeled garlic, lemon juice, apple, green chillies and olive oil along with a little salt into a blender and blitz to a smooth paste, adding a splash of water if needed. Reserve half of the marinade in a bowl.
Place the chicken in a large bowl with the other half of the marinade and mix well. Chill for at least 1 hr. Will keep chilled for a day.
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Put the potatoes, carrots and cabbage (if using instead of broccoli) on a large baking tray, sprinkle with the cumin seeds and drizzle with the olive oil. Mix well to coat. It is essential that the vegetables are laid flat in one layer to ensure even cooking. Roast for 30 mins
Nestle the marinated chicken fillets between the vegetables along with the tenderstem broccoli and put back in the oven for 20-25 mins until the chicken is cooked – the juices should run clear when pierced with a sharp knife.
To serve, drizzle the remaining green chutney over the chicken and vegetables. Serve straightaway.
