verystormy Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Well, my wife is getting a little bored of Sunday lunch - she isn't really a fan. But I am a huge one, but have a pretty limited repertoire. So time for pp to help. I want a traditional roast. But for me that means, the roast with roast veg, roast potatoes and maybe sprouts. So what would you do? By the way she doesn't like cabbage or similar (that includes spinach and things) Help? What side dishes do you do?

Charlieboy Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Aww I'm with you I'm afraid! We're having a roast tomorrow, possibly one of the last of the season as the weather gets balmier! since we're moving into BBQ and salad weather were going out with a bang and it's yorkies puds, broccoli and caullie cheese, roast spuds, mash spuds, carrots, sprouts and cabbage! And my hubbies home made chicken gravy a la Jamie Oliver style with chicken wings, celery the lot, it takes him a good hour to make it!! I will be interested to read from others though as after weeks of rainy days and Sunday roasts I do need some inspiration!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portlaunay Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 I'm the opposite, I love a roast and crave it when I need it but once or twice a year is enough. We do like a butterfly leg of lamb rubbed with harissa and BBQ'd. I like it with those enormous thin flatbreads, sprinkled with water and olive oil, wrapped in foil and warmed in the oven. I usually do a yoghurt dressing and just some leafy salad. Alternatively, roast some small pots in the oven with some romano toms cut in half, plenty of herbage and a good splosh of balsamic vinegar. Half an hour before they're ready crumble some goats cheese over the top and pop it back in the oven so it melts together. Keep mixing it up so the toms get squidged and it all blends together. Yummy with BBQ lamb or chook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verystormy Posted August 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 I do similar in summer. But I like the 3 months a year I get something more traditional. Have never done coli cheese though. So that isn a plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arwen Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 I'm loving roasted fennel at the moment and a drizzle of maple syrup over my carrots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou8670 Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 I love a good roast dinner!!! Caribbean carrots! Reminiscent of my ski season! Slice the carrots into an oven proof dish, load them with butter and light brown sugar and cook them in the oven for 1 hour! Yum! We also like to make pork stuffing with chopped apricots, onions and herbs and onion sauce which is like bread sauce but with white onions and nutmeg.

verystormy Posted August 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 We alternate between a traditional and something different. Last Christmas we had a turkey, but marinaded in spices and served with a range of Peruvian salads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Druid Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 It's not a roast dinner, but I decided to make pulled pork Mexican fajitas, found a recepie on google & gave it a go, it was seriously yummy, the pork roasted for 4 hours at 150 in a combination of herbs, chillies, jalapeños, capsicum, onion & garlic, it came out absolutely fantastic, it just fell apart and melted in your mouth as pulled pork is supposed to, now I'm going to use the same technique for a roast dinner, just not so many chillies !
