The Quick Roasting Tin: 30 Minute One Dish Dinners (Rukmini’s Roasting Tin)

Product Information

It works particularly well to cut through the rich salmon, while the peanuts provide wonderful texture. The Quick Roasting Tin offers more of Rukmini’s genius recipe ideas, this time with a focus on speed. Never heat the pan dry (without oil) in the oven and never pour cold water directly onto it when hot as that could cause damage. Simply add your ingredients to a tin, pop it in the oven and hey 30 minutes to yourself, a delicious meal, and minimal washing up! Whisk the lemon zest, juice and extra virgin olive oil together, drizzle this over the traybake, then scatter over the pomegranate seeds and parsley.

Perfect for: Busy families who want quick meals without compromising on flavour and nutrition, and anyone looking for simple ideas for flavoursome, home-cooked midweek meals.The dish is supposed to be lightly roasted and it will be if you stick to the 30 minute roasting time but I like a bit more colour on my halloumi so I roast it for 40 minutes and it's perfect. I use a roasting tin that's roughly 20 x 30cm (8 x 12"), which comfortably manages 200-300g of couscous. This book is so easy to use with a range of recipes and ingredients, and the recipes are easy to customise to suit. I could eat this punchy dressing – packed with fish sauce, peanuts, lime and coriander – slathered over almost anything.

The light champagne colour of the tin made it very easy to spot the bits that needed cleaning, but we’d be careful not to scratch this one with a tough scourer or use metal utensils as it could damage the finish. Tip the leeks into a bowl, pour over a kettleful of boiling water, and leave to steep for 2 minutes while you get on with prepping the other ingredients. The Quick Roasting Tin contains 75 new all-in-one tin recipes from quick weeknight dinners to at-home lunchboxes and family favourites. You’ll undoubtedly curse the weight of them at some point (even a 33cm roaster comes in at nearly 4kg), but it’s the heft that gives them an even bake and the ability to retain heat at the table, making them the perfect choice for traybakes. CHANGE IT UP: If you prefer a thicker curry, use half the amount of coconut milk, or a 200g can of coconut cream.

These speedy oven meals embrace both meat and meat-free diets alike, put emphasis on flavour and are easy to adapt depending on what you have in the fridge and cupboards.She has published several cookbooks including 'The Roasting Tin' Series (The Roasting Tin; The Green Roasting Tin and The Quick Roasting Tin) as well as 'The Middle Eastern Kitchen'. I love everything about them, from the gorgeous looking food to the friendly and down to earth writing, but mostly I love the concept. Driven by occassion rather than ingredient (I did miss those infographics, but that's what her other books are for), it is a worthy companion to both The Roasting Tin: Simple One Dish Dinners and The Green Roasting Tin: Vegan and Vegetarian One Dish Dinners (my personal favourite, and the one that has found a home on my bookshelf). Solid and top quality, but without the hefty weight of the more traditional pans we tested from Le Creuset, it’s made from toughened cast aluminium rather than cast iron which we lightly seasoned with oil before roasting.
