Introduction: One-Pan Roasted Winter Meal

About: I am an experienced cook, avid adventurer and diligent student of the culinary arts. I have dedicated much of my time and creative energy honing expertise and adoration for food preparation and experimentation…

It’s cold.

I like to think of this dish as a kind of soup without the broth. Warming, cozy and comforting, I make it all the time when I want something easy. It is kind of a non-recipe and can make good use of random bits of food you have lying around. Put as much or as little of each as you want/have. Improvise. Create.

Step 1:


One-Pan Roasted Winter Meal

Ingredients

  • brussel sprouts, cleaned and quartered
  • sausage or tofu (or your protein of choice)
  • onion, chopped
  • garlic, lots
  • sauerkraut and some of the juice
  • sun-dried tomatoes
  • mushrooms, halved or quartered
  • carrots
  • bell pepper any vegetable

Dressing:

  • olive oil
  • toasted sesame oil
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • lemon
  • rosemary
  • cumin

Directions

  1. Preheat oven at 425ºF/220ºC/Gas Mark 7.
  2. Combine the dressing ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.
  3. All ingredients are to cleaned and chopped into bite sized pieces. They should be around the same size so they bake evenly. Put everything directly into your casserole dish/baking pan.
  4. Drizzle the dressing all over the ingredients and mix until everything is saturated.
  5. Put the uncovered pan in the oven for about 45-50 minutes. Check every 15 minutes and stir so nothing gets burned. When the carrots (or potatoes, if you use them) are soft, remove from heat.
  6. Garnish with Greek yogurt, hot sauce and more cracked black pepper. Dig in.
