I may have mentioned before how much I love recipes where everything is cooked in one tin or pot. The great thing is, Agas are particularly suited to this sort of cooking. At the shop of the beautiful National Trust property Trerice in Cornwall in the summer, I bought Rukmini Iyer’s books The Roasting Tin and The Green Roasting Tin, which are excellent and inspiring. Last night though I had specific ingredients I needed to use up for supper so I made up my own one tin recipe, taking ideas from those books, Jamie Oliver and Meera Sodha.

Cauliflower, Chicken and Potato Traybake

Serves 3-4

Ingredients

• 1 large cauliflower
• 500g potatoes (I used Charlotte but any waxy potato would be fine)
• 1kg chicken wings
• 6 tbsps rapeseed oil
• 30g bunch coriander
• 2 tsps cumin seeds
• ½ tsp turmeric
• ½ tsp chilli powder
• 1 ¼  tsp salt
• Juice of 1 lemon

Method

• Chop the potatoes into 3cm chunks
• Separate out the cauliflower into smallish florets, about the same size as your potato pieces
• Finely chop the coriander stalks, placing the leafy sprigs in a bowl of cold water to keep them fresh until needed
• Place all of the above in your large Aga roasting tin
• Grind the cumin seeds and mix with the salt, chilli powder, turmeric and rapeseed oil and pour all this over your vegetables in the tin making sure everything is coated in oil. Add a little more oil if you think it’s required
• Slide your roasting tin onto the second set of runners of the roasting oven and roast for 15 minutes
• Season your chicken wings and add them to the tin, nestling them in between your vegetables but if you run out of space just rest them on top
• Return the tin to the roasting oven, this time on the top set of runners for about half an hour but check after 15 minutes and turn everything round a bit so that everything is cooked and some edges are a little charred
• Before serving pour over the lemon juice and garnish with the coriander sprigs

NB You could use chicken thighs for this but then I would add them at the beginning because they need a longer cooking time.
