The Quick Roasting Tin (Rukmini’s Roasting Tin)

Product Information

Mix the broccoli, asparagus, sugar snaps, frozen peas, sea salt and sesame oil in a roasting tin. Put the salmon fillets in around the veg, then mix the soy, sesame oil and honey and spread this over each fillet. Roast for 20–25 minutes until the salmon is cooked through. It’s such a simple concept for a book, but the recipes in this book provide the basis for so many great meals! Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C/gas 6. Mix the shallots with the olive oil and sea salt in a roasting tin, making sure the shallots are arranged cut sides facing upwards, then put the salmon steaks alongside.

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). 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. Spread the top of the salmon fillets with the mustard. Mix the chopped pine nuts and parsley together (I sometimes just do this on the chopping board), then press the mixture over the mustard.Who’s the author?

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. Meanwhile, whisk the ginger, lime juice, sesame oil and spring onions together. Once the salmon is cooked, pour the dressing over the vegetables. Taste and adjust the lime juice and salt as needed and serve hot. Perfect for experimenting with new foods and for making enough to keep some for lunch the next day. Pop the salmon fillets into the roasting tin along with the broccoli, cover the tin tightly with foil, then transfer to the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through to your liking.Some really tempting contemporary recipes to try, with simple steps and not too demanding on the fancy-schmancy ingredient front :) Remove the salmon fillets from the tin, then mix the Puy lentils, watercress, extra virgin olive oil and half the lemon juice through the shallots. Stir in the single cream, if using, then taste and adjust the lemon juice, salt and pepper as needed. Serve alongside the salmon. 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. 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. 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! 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.)

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. Tip the cauliflower, leaves, spices, salt and oil into a large roasting tin and mix until everything is evenly spiced. 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. 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.
