(Serves: 4)
Ingredients
- 2 Massel Vegetable Ultracubes dissolved into 60ml of boiling water.
- 3 teaspoons Massel Vegetable Stock Powder
- ½ teaspoon saffron threads
- 900g/2lb mixed fingerling potatoes, washed
- 4-6 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2-3 sprigs rosemary
- 2-3 sprigs fresh sage
- 6 cloves garlic, unpeeled
- 1 large lemon, sliced into rounds and seeds removed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Method
In a small dish, combine the hot Massel Vegetable Ultracube broth and saffron threads. Stir to combine and set aside to steep.
Preheat the oven to 260°C/500°F and place a baking sheet inside to heat.
Place the fingerling potatoes whole in a large mixing bowl, halving any that are very large. Add the thyme, rosemary and sage sprigs, garlic, Massel Vegetable Stock Powder, lemon slices, olive oil and infused saffron liquid to the potatoes and toss to coat completely.
Remove the sheet pan from the oven and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Pour the potatoes and herbs onto the pan and return to the oven.
Reduce the temperature to 220°C/425°F and roast for 20 minutes until crispy outside and tender inside.
