Comfort food is top of the list when it comes to warding off the winter weather and this roast chicken and olive-oil mash should be top of your list for dinner!
Method
Chicken
Roast the chicken (a 1.5kg chicken will be perfectly roasted after 1hr 20mins at 190 deg C/gas 5) and about one hour before the end of cooking, pop the prepared winter vegetables into the oven. Whilst the chicken and vegetables are roasting, make the mash. Serve all together with a little gravy made with the potato water and gravy mix if desired.
Vegetables
1. Preheat the oven to 190 deg C/gas mark 5
2. Prepare the vegetables. Ensure they are all cut to a similar size to ensure even cooking
3. Place the prepared vegetables and crushed garlic into a roasting pan, drizzle with olive oil, stir and top with the sprigs of rosemary
4. Place in a preheated oven and roast for 45 minutes or until the vegetables are lightly browned but not too soft
5. Leave to rest for about 5 minutes
6. Remove the rosemary sprigs before serving
Mash
1. Boil the potatoes in a minimum of boiling water until soft
