SLOW-COOKER GARLIC PORK ROAST AND SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• If pork roast comes in netting or is tied, remove netting or strings. Remove fat from pork. In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle salt and pepper over pork. Cook pork in oil about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until brown on all sides.
• In 4- to 5-quart slow cooker, place sweet potatoes, onion and garlic. Place pork on vegetables. Pour broth over pork.
• Cover; cook on Low heat setting 8 to 10 hours.

GARLIC ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes, leaving the smaller ones whole and cutting the larger ones so that they are all roughly the same size. Put them in a large pan of cold salted water, bring to the boil and simmer gently for about 15 mins until cooked through. Tip gently into a colander and leave to drain and cool - there's no need to shake. When they stop steaming, put them on a tray in a single layer and place in the fridge, uncovered, until ready to roast. Can be done up to two days ahead.
• Once you have put the loin in to start roasting, spoon the goose fat into a flameproof roasting tin and heat on the hob for a few mins. Turn the heat off and, one at a time, turn each potato in the fat so they are completely coated. Make sure they are in a single layer and not touching. Once the oven has been turned down to 180C/160C fan/gas 4, put the potatoes in the oven with the pork and cook for 40 mins undisturbed.
• Remove from the oven and, again, turn each potato. Return to the oven for 20 mins, then remove and repeat the turning process. The pork should have come out of the oven by now, so turn the oven up to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and cook the potatoes for a final 20 mins. Add the rosemary and garlic 5 mins before the end. Once cooked, the potatoes should be deep golden and crunchy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. Sprinkle with sea salt and serve.

ROSEMARY-GARLIC ROAST BEEF AND POTATOES WITH HORSERADISH SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together 3 tablespoons oil, rosemary, garlic, and lemon zest; season with salt and pepper. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Pat beef dry and add to skillet. Increase heat to high and cook, turning with tongs, until beef is browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
• Brush or spoon rosemary mixture over roast and place in oven. Roast 20 minutes. Remove from oven and place potatoes around roast, tossing in pan juices. Roast until potatoes are tender and beef is medium-rare (an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of roast should read 120 degrees to 125 degrees), 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer roast to a cutting board, loosely tent with foil, and let rest 10 minutes. Toss potatoes with pan juices; tent with foil. Thinly slice meat against the grain and serve with potatoes and horseradish sauce.

8 SPICED POT ROAST WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES AND GARLIC FINGERLING POTATOES

Steps:

• Season the roast well with salt. Mix all of the spices and roll the roast well in the spices. Then roll the roast in the flour. Heat a Dutch oven or small stock pot to high. Coat with oil and sear all sides of the roast until very brown. Lower the heat and add the onions, garlic, ginger, tomatoes, sambal, sugar and wine. Check for seasoning. Cover tightly and let simmer for 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Turn the roast at least every hour. In a large bowl, mix together the zucchinis, peppers, carrots, mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. During the last hour of roasting, top the roast with the vegetables and cover. Roast is ready when it is fork tender. Remove roast and check the vegetables/sauce for seasoning. Plating On a very large platter, place a large mound of vegetables/sauce in the middle. Surround with potatoes and place roast on top. Serve with side of East-West Mustard. Slice roast tableside.
• Preheat a hotel pan or heavy metal baking dish in a 375 oven. Toss the potatoes, garlic, olive oil, parsley with salt and pepper. When the pan is hot, add the potatoes. They should sizzle. Roast until they turn brown, then turn oven down to 350 degrees. Cook for about 30 minutes or until a knife easily pierces the spuds.
• Mix the 2 powders together and add enough water to make a paste. Mix in the sugar and Dijon. Serve in a small side dish.

LEMON, GARLIC & BAY ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel and halve or quarter the potatoes, if large, so they're all the same size. Put in a large pan and cover with cold water and a pinch of salt. Add one half of the garlic bulb. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 mins until a knife goes easily through the potatoes, then drain well, reserving the garlic. Leave the potatoes to steam-dry in the pan for 10 mins. Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7.
• Pour the oil into a large baking tray or two smaller ones - it should cover the base of the tray, so add a little more if you need to. Heat in the oven for 10 mins until really hot. Carefully transfer the spuds to the oil, leaving lots of room between each one (otherwise they will steam, rather than roast) and coat in the oil, taking care not to splash yourself. Season, then add both halves of the garlic, blanched and not, and nestle the bay leaves underneath the spuds.
• Roast for 40-45 mins, turning halfway through and coating in more oil, until golden and crunchy. Season with more salt and pepper, and zest the lemon directly over the potatoes so the essential oils spritz over the spuds. Serve with the roasted garlic in its shell.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH POTATOES AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Let the chicken breasts stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Heat oven to 400 degrees with two racks centered. Lightly spray two 14-by-12-inch roasting or jelly-roll pans with cooking spray. The potatoes may be peeled or not, as desired. If the potatoes are larger than 1 1/2 inches in diameter, cut them into 1 1/2- to 2-inch chunks.
• Separate garlic head into cloves. Divide potatoes and garlic cloves between roasting pans. Drizzle potatoes and garlic in each pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Lightly toss potatoes and garlic until they are covered with oil. Place one whole chicken breast, skin-side up, in one pan. Place remaining two whole breasts in the other pan, skinsides up. Sprinkle ingredients in each pan with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Roast for 30 minutes. Rotate pans in oven, and use a spatula to turn potatoes for even browning. Continue to cook 20 to 25 minutes, until chicken skin is crisp and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the breast meat reads 180 degrees. Don't touch any bones with thermometer; bones conduct heat and will give a false reading.
• To serve, divide the potatoes evenly between six plates with a few cloves of roasted garlic for each person. Use a sharp knife to remove each half of breast meat from the bone. Remove skin from each serving before eating. Garnish with rosemary sprigs.

RIB ROAST WITH ROSEMARY-GARLIC POTATOES

• Continue to roast potatoes, tossing occasionally, until golden, 25 to 30 minutes more. Slice beef and serve with potatoes.

REALLY SLOW ROAST PORK SHOULDER WITH CRISPY, CRISPY CRACKLING AND GARLIC ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Grind the fennel seeds, peppercorns and salt in a spice grinder. Place the pork shoulder into a roasting pan and cut the rind into cross hatches. Rub the spice mixture into the meat and put it in the oven for 4 hours.
• Arrange the potatoes around and under the meat and put it back into the oven for 1 hour.
• Now add the garlic, shallots and carrots around the pork. If your roasting pan is not large enough to accommodate all the vegetables, place them in a separate roasting pan. Cook for 30 minutes, then add the pears. They don't need much cooking time and will disintegrate if cooked too long. Cook for another 30 minutes
• When the meat is tender and flakes with a fork, remove it and the vegetables and keep warm. This will give the pork time to rest and become more tender. If the pork rind is not crispy, put it under the broiler for a few minutes until it is really crunchy and crispy.
• To make the gravy, pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat from the roasting pan. Stir the flour into the roasting pan, add the wine, put the roasting pan onto a burner over medium-high heat and cook until the wine is reduced by half. If not using the wine, do this with the stock. Now add the stock and scrape off any bits of meat and vegetable on the bottom of the pan. Taste and add any seasoning if you think it needs it.
• If the gravy is too thin, make a paste in a bowl with 1 tablespoon and 1 tablespoon flour. Add some of the hot gravy to the small bowl and stir. Add this to the hot stock, stirring constantly and bring to a boil. The gravy will thicken slightly.
• If your gravy is too thick, just add a touch more stock. Serve the meat and vegetables with the gravy.
• This dish struggles to make it to the table as the family descends upon it while I am trying to finish the gravy! Use any leftovers for pork sandwiches with some crunchy pickle.

When they're done, remove to a large plate and sprinkle with salt.
