vegetable leftovers

There is so many things to do with leftover vegetables, and one of my favourite when I have a little portion of different vegetables is to cook it in the oven with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper and fresh herbs it I have any.

This weekend, I tried making a healthy balance with my food on top of all the baking I have been doing lately, so I make vegetables in the oven with pan fried fish.

·         500-700g vegetables (if using broccoli, asparagus or other vegetables that don't need as long cooking time, ad them half way through the cooking process.

·         2-3 tablespoons of Olive oil

·         1 tablespoon lemon juice

·         salt and pepper

·         fresh herbs like thyme, oregano or sage (can be left out).

·         Fresh fish like salmon, cod, plaid or any other good fish for frying.

·         olive oil

·         lemon juice of half a lemon

·         salt and pepper.

Reheat oven to 200 degrees
Chop up vegetables and transfer to a baking sheet.
drizzle on oil, juice and season with salt, pepper and herbs.
Bake for about 45 minutes, turning the vegetables a few times during the cooking time.

When vegetables are done, leave them in the oven, but shut the oven off.

Heat up a frying pan on medium heat, and fry the fish a few minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fish. a minute before being done, drizzle on the lemon juice on the fish and pan, and let it cook into the fish.
Season with salt and pepper.

When fish is done take the vegetables out of the oven and plate up.

Note: If you have any roasted vegetables leftover, a great way of using them is to cook them in some vegetable stock and blend for a lovely vegetable soup, or heating them through on a small pan and adding whisked up egg for a lovely frittata.
