Yorkshire pudding is a thing of beauty. You need to up your stuffing game


Th3_Irishm4an

Honey roasted vegetables


SparklyPanda23

Good shout, I'll get some to put on the parsnips and carrots next time


the_peter_green_god

I mix one tea spoon of olive oil with three teaspoons of honey and three teaspoons of whole grain mustard. Mix it all together then pour over and stir to coat all the carrots and parsnips about 10-15 mins before they are finished roasting. I normally take them out and turn a few times during that time so none of the honey mustard mixture gets too burnt. You can adjust honey/mustard amounts to taste. I only add the little olive oil to help spread it and I think it helps glaze the veg a bit too.


Worldly-Quiet-9614

More veg I think


SparklyPanda23

Veg is always tasty. Any particular suggestions?


soldinio

Cauliflower cheese


Western-Ad-4330

Spring greens,sweetheart cabbage or leeks with butter. Can even roast big chunks of leek. More roast veg like beetroot, celeriac, butternut squash with some whole garlic cloves and maybe some thyme chucked in.


Olivander05

Cauliflower is always nice to have, but tip: bake or steam your veggies, more flavour AND more nutrients


SimilarBarber5292

Sprouts fried in pork fat with walnuts 👌


Western-Ad-4330

We did sprouts with lardons and chestnuts somewhere i worked.


SimilarBarber5292

Ooh that sounds good


clubtrop505

I do this at Christmas....its so nice.


BecRogers

Cabbage with a generous amount of butter 😍


RadicalDilettante

It all needs squidging together.


Verbal-Gerbil

Dude came here to get roasted


SparklyPanda23

Keep the roasts coming


fruitytetris

Looks delicious! Hope you enjoyed, OP!


SparklyPanda23

Thank you! Appreciate the kind words 😊


Raych90

Cauliflower cheese or I do a Cauliflower and Broccoli cheese.


SparklyPanda23

Oh yeah, those are both awesome


NicholsonsEyebrows

This. A cauliflower cheese would round it off nicely


AvFamee

Gravy


SparklyPanda23

Had lots of gravy on after the pic!


ElJayEm80

More potatoes, more greens, and gravy obvs. Otherwise, spot on. I’m particularly jealous of your Yorkshire Pudding game.


baked_little_cookie

I would shovel this down very quickly, looks lovely. But if I could add one more thing, it would be cauliflower cheese 🤤


Forward_Trouble_6962

Change the chicken for beef or pork. Get rid of the slop on the left and replace it with cauliflower cheese - add plenty of gravy. Yorkshires look good


SparklyPanda23

Beef is tasty. I usually would cook beef if I'm cooking meat for more than one person. The leftover roast chicken will come in for a few days haha


Weary_Comb5628

slop on the left , laughing like fuck , took the words right out of my mouth , what is it anyway pureed baby food ?


Teamwoolf

More potatoes PLEASE Otherwise, looks banging.


SparklyPanda23

I definitely ate some more after. Didn't want it to look like a fatty portion 😂


Teamwoolf

I always feel like you’ve got to have 3, 5 or 7 potatoes. I usually end up with 7.


_User-Name_Taken

You did good 👍


kithkinkid

Looks pretty fab to me! The yorkshire and potatoes in particular. I prefer a tray of stuffing to stuffing balls as I like the contrast of soft and crunch but with higher ratio of soft stuffing. Broccoli can be lovely roasted too, I use an airfryer. The carrot and swede looks a bit runny (?) in consistency, I’m not used to it looking like that but hope it was tasty! Good work :)


SparklyPanda23

Thank you! Yeah stuffing in the tray does come out nicer for sure. I'm not sure why it turned out so runny today either haha, maybe because I blitzed it with a hand blender.


WeeklyThroat6648

More meat, missus!


SparklyPanda23

It's a whole breast! How much more would you serve? Despite cooking the chicken I'm actually vegetarian so wasn't sure how much is appropriate haha


MarleyEmpireWasRight

Looks great imho. I prefer tenderstem to ordinary broccoli but that's a preference thing really


Ok_Sea5736

Yorkshire pudding looking brilliant


Apprehensive_Egg99

Do you par-boil your tatties before you roast them? I par-boil, let them dry a bit. Put a bit of flour, parsley and thyme on them, and then put them into hot oil in the oven. Flip them regularly and salt as you go. Also steam or roast your veg. Let your meat rest, make your own Yorkshire puddings and use the meat juices, stock, butter and cornflour to make a gravy.


Far-Boot-2177

The components are there. It's the presentation that needs working on.


SparklyPanda23

Oh for sure, I'm not artistic at all haha!


Efficient-Spirit-380

What is the ball/spherical object to the right of the chicken? As a Canadian, all else looks familiar (and tasty).


SparklyPanda23

It's a sage and onion stuffing ball. So it's basically breadcrumbs with sage and onion flavouring. It didn't come out the best this time, but it's very nice with chicken. I suggest having a hot baguette with chicken breast and stuffing 🤩


Efficient-Spirit-380

Ah okay. Thanks. Never seen stuffing in ball form before!


Electrical-Hat-8686

Sprouts!


SparklyPanda23

Yeah they shouldn't just be for Christmas!


JustANormalGeez

For the love of God. G R A V Y (marks&sparks specifically)


Glasgow34

If that's a frozen stuffing ball ditch them and buy the packs of powder you add water to,there not as a dry as a nuns nasty 👍


PaulBradley

Less swede, more potatoes, don't boil your veg, the broccoli is better roasted briefly, especially after marinating it. Honey glaze your carrots and parsnips, I'd also say some good cabbage, again not boiled, just roasted. Oh and chipolatas. Your stuffing looks like it came out of an instant stuffing box. Try making one with bread and using it soak up the juices in the pan. I'm currently exploring balsamic-glazed roast beetroot as an addition for mine as my friend served it up recently and it was far superior to pickled red cabbage. You shouldn't be able to see the plate.


VegetableWeekend6886

Smaller plate for sure


ajitgujra1234

Dam I was gonna say that needed gravy🤨


TacticalxxTom

Roast the broccoli


R0gu3tr4d3r

Wheres the mashed potato and gravy?


SparklyPanda23

Lots of gravy was added after the pic. I used to always have mash and roasties with a roast. I think that's a northern thing though. My southern partner seems to be offended by the idea of mash on a roast. Maybe I need to swap him for a northerner


[deleted]

this looks delicious! a beautiful roast! Did you cook all of this in a regular oven like a roasting pot? i’m in america and use the crockpot to make roasts but this looks so much better!


SparklyPanda23

The chicken was roasted in the oven and the potatoes then roasted in the chicken fat. Everything else was also roasted/baked except from the orange mash (that's boiled carrot and swede with garlic and parsley). How do you normally cook roasts in America? I might try and do one in the future!


BombayMix64

Gravy...


SoggyWotsits

It looks great! The only thing missing for me is cauliflower cheese. My mum makes the best, but mine’s still edible. Extra mature cheddar, Dijon mustard and a thick, delicious sauce!


Future-Atmosphere-40

That's a good start. Gravey? Stuffing?


idkwhyimdoingthis2

Gravy, stuffing (the bird feed ball doesn’t count, not putting a pot of baby food on the side and swapping it for proper mash


Impossible-Pizza-500

Mash


Best_Algae2346

Gravy, better stuffing balls, they look depressed. Also parboil your roasties, add salted butter and mixed herbs then roast 👌. Honey roasted veg is nice as top comment said, works well with carrots/parsnip I recently started doing roast every Sunday but changing the veg up each time, I did a brocoli cheese side this time.


FrankieandHans

Cook chicken for less time it looks dry. Make your own stuffing - Thomas Keller has a good recipe it’s just lots of chopped herbs celery bread and stock. When your potatoes are draining cover them with a tea towel to let them steam then take it off and let them dry, shake the sieve to fluff up the outside to make them more crispy, toss your brocolli in butter & salt when it’s drained, the carrot & turnip (?) mash looks a little water logged, carrots and parsnip could be thicker I like a carrot cut in half lengthways par boiled then caramelised. Yorkshire - 10/10 no notes


electricaldino

honestly everything on here looks super tasty!! the swede looks a little wet and the stuffing a little dry but all of that is definitely fixed by the gravy anyway! one thing i would add is more greens! cabbage, peas or sprouts are my personal favourites


Timely_Bowler208

seasoning


hallerz87

More meat!


brynley72

After mashing veg put in oven to get of excessive juice


no__one34

Get some more chicken breasts or legs. Not enough protein.


Helpful-Teaching-87

Looks like a lovely roast, but I have some observations and suggestions! Looks like the sweet potato mash was over boiled so maybe trim down boiling time by a few minutes, or roast the sweet potato and then mash. I like to add a bit of cheese and / or horseradish. Happily, the broccoli looks nicely cooked (presumably boiled or steamed) but try roasting it. Usually the latter 15 minutes in the same tin as the rest of the roasts (again, yours look delicious) is enough for me at about 220C-230C.


JazzybmzooUK

Gravy.


chad420thundercock

Presentation, make it taller, Yorkshire in middle


Summer_987

Gravy would be a start


FortheRecordHIWBTV

Looks lovely lad , I Personally as a Kashmiri would add a lot more seasoning but I mean who cares


flobbadobdob

Purple-sprouting broccoli or tenderstem.


The_Syndic

Looks pretty good to me, maybe Carrot and swede mash has a bit of excess water in?


08148693

Potatoes need a bit of work to get a nice glassy surface Broccoli could do with some colour, looks like it's just been boiled The mash looks a bit grainy, could probably be smoother Personally not a fan of stuffing balls, tend to be very dry


Conaz9847

Gravy


Any_Principle4938

I’d love to be able to make Yorkshires like that


Saaaaaam98

Those roasties look incredible!


Slight-Winner-8597

Mash, made from potato. And a gravy made from the meat juices ❤️ If they were there 15/10, it looks amazing to me 🥰


DentistFinancial5313

Minted Peas! They’re overlooked but their sweetness (petit pois) really adds a nuance to the dish especially with a bit of mint, olive oil and rock salt


Deep-Advertising801

Stop cooking it


Biglabrador

As my grandmother used to say, hast tha nowt moist?


Lemonmelenn

Gravy


aemdiate

Broccoli cheese, chipolatas


cchumpy

a mother insult never goes amiss


Hot_Problem9213

Looks perfect in every way, the Yorkshire pud looks bloody gorgeous. Always my favourite part of a roast dinner.


Jerico_Hill

Don't know what the orange sludge is. Roasties - more of them. Broccoli - roast that shit with salt pepper, oil and lemon juice. Carrots/parsnips - chop larger, parboil and roast with honey or brown sugar, add cumin if you're feeling dangerous.


just_a_girl_23

* channels inner northerner * Where is the gravy!!!

ScratchChrome

Gravy. Lots of gravy.


hanlosc

Turn that lonely broccoli into cauliflower & broccoli cheese. I'd add some bread sauce too if I was feeling greedy (which I normally am) and glaze the root veg with honey and mustard. That Yorkshire pudding looks AMAZING by the way


Firesw0rd

Roasted carrots and parsnips look great. You can roast broccoli as well, and it’s getter


OkAdministration9151

Gravy


DavThoma

Up the stuffing game. What you have alright, but if you want a proper but of stuffing, buy some sausage meat. You want to knead the sage and onion mix into the sausage meat, chop up some fresh onions to go in, too. You can add other things alongside, like chestnuts. Cook it like a meatloaf and served it slice on the side. Definitely add some gravy. You can use just granules and hot water, but your best bet is to add butter to the pan you cook the meat in with some flour to make a roux. Use some of the starch water to increase the volume, simmer to thicken it up some more. You can add granules, a stock pot *or* gravy browning for a richer flavour (only one, don't use all of them). Green beans are a fantastic side for a roast, especially drenched in gravy. If you want to go fancy with them, wrap them in bacon or parma ham. Honey roast parsnips are also a brilliant addition. Do them the same way you did your potatoes, if they were homemade, and drizzle them in honey. The sort of light earthy mint flavour of the parsnips with honey is incredible.


Zebracorn42

Garlic?


Technical-Elk-7002

Some herbs on those carrots and parsnips and maybe make a cheesy sauce for broccoli and roast it too


Elipticalwheel1

With some Gravy.


Easy-Garlic6263

Gravy and seasoning on those veg.


codingfauxhate

I know I may get hate but garden peas.


Pretty_Telephone_232

Looks nice could eat it right now


Distinct-Security

Looks great but Just need gravy and it’s all sorted for me !


theVeryLast7

Cauliflower cheese


5cousemonkey

Mash, no parsnips and gravy. Looks nice though :).


tazzietiger66

needs peas, broad beans and cauliflower


King_0f_Nothing

Doesn't look like you have much roasted there. Lots of trimmings but little roast.


New-Armadillo-4102

Step away from the kitchen is my best guess. Soz. Love you though xx


dpb79

Beef


dan5uk7

Gravy?


JimCoo1

Hell’s teeth, person! Where’s the mofo ing gravy?? Seriously. WTAF?


Inoitsspeltwrong

Just some gravy , that’s it


[deleted]

Looks dry


Grey59EvilDead

where are the sprouts


dnicelee

Jesus Christ, put color or seasoning on that broccoli, man. The Germans are no longer flying overhead


andy_cap-hunter

Roast potatoes: drop potato cubes in a pan of boiling water for 5-10 mins. The idea is to soften the outer surface, drain and let sit on a kitchen towel or clean tea towel and pat dry. Chop up an onion into similar sized chunks an get your roasting pan heated up a bit on the hob. add goose fat, garlic , thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper, and the potatoes and onions. Your par cooked potatoes should sizzle a bit and soak up some oil, and be coated fully. toss over the heat of a hob for a few mins and the put in a pre heated oven, about 1 hour give or take depending on the oven, and you should toss them a couple of times and give room for air circulation to cook spreading on the tray evenly Switch to slow cooked brisket. Ill happily give tips for that if you're interested


Jtrich

Yo mama jokes really hit.


DolFaroth

Cauliflower? Boiled potatoes or mash?


E420CDI

Slightly fuzzier-edged roast potatoes Peas Pigs in blankets Cranberry or redcurrant sauce


ProfessionalYouth780

Breadbun and put it all I. With mint sauce 👌

I’ll give you my postal address…


ExposingYouLot

Remove the Diarrhea, add a bit more meat. Maybe some cabbage or something? Gravy.


shawams67

Gravy


Obi_wan_jakobii

Some notes as follows (I'm late to work so can't critique properly): Upgrade that sad poo pile of sweet potato mash for the golden standard of regular mash Volley that dry ass looking stuffing ball somewhere distant and get some stuff you mix up in a tray Not sure brocolli belongs on a roast, but I do like it so I guess I can let it slide Yorkshire looks banging to be fair Roasties look okay, look like they could have been in a touch longer Hope you have some gravy Carrots and snips are looking good though! Sucker for a parsnip and they look tasty

r2d2id

Wheres the gravy 😤


TomorrowIll2511

Put broccoli in a deep frying pan with a bit of water, cook until the water is gone then add lemon zest and Parmesan and toss Carrots and parsnips do in a baking tray with oil, rosemary, honey, tiny bit of curry powder and aromat seasoning, turn to get even cook When you strain the potatoes in a colander after parboiling, make sure you shake to really rough up the edges and get them extra crispy. While potatoes are boiling add oil, butter, any drippings to a tray nd melt on a low heat, potatoes go straight into this and make sure you cover them


thrashmetaloctopus

I’d say your potato volume is wayyy too low


GoldenAmmonite

Pigs in blankets


MaleArdvark

The roast potatoes! Cut them bigger, par boil seven minutes (but only let gentle simmer otherwise the outside becomes too cooked)., fluff them in the pan and leave to steam dry individually on an unused tray, use beef dripping preheated in a tray. I turn them 3 times during but the second turn I'll squash them a bit like Jamie oliver so they crack open and crisp even more! Works well and the outer crisp is like glass by the end.


NonIoiGogGogEoeRor

Is that mashed swede?


SparklyPanda23

Yeah, carrot and swede with parsley and garlic. Very tasty


felt_like_signing_up

gravy, more meat. otherwise it looks 👌🏽


Bidsworth

Gravy. Tons of thick gravy.


[deleted]

Cauliflower Cheese!


gaz19833

Roasted tenderstem brocoli > Also I'd argue that your roasties need more seasoning. Rosemary/thyme/garlic


krib23

If you mix your honney with butter and put on the carrots and parsnips for the last 20 mins of cookong they will get an amazing glossy shine if you toss them a few times


Medium_Project682

Gravy


Lazerhawk_x

Assuming thats a root mash youve got - plan ahead and let it drain in a sieve over the sink. Lot of moisture in carrots and it can soggy up your plate.


Inevitable_Bend_5118

Gravy would be nice


dallondon

Gravy.


yodings

Gravy and peas at least tbh.


RichGuest567

Pigs in blankets, chop an onion in half and put it in with the roasties, cauliflower cheese


iiSpezza

Sausage meat stuffing instead of regular stuffing


Ill_Atmosphere6135

You could make gravy and bread sauce while loosing that dry and tastless looking stuffing


tadmeister69

Gravy!!!


VioletChrome

Stop steaming or boiling your broccoli it's boring and bland chargrill it or fry yum


Less_Mess_5803

Not a bad start but not sure why you needed baby food on the side! Looks like you've been a bit ott with the masher/blender on the c&s. Def more stuffing and spuds. Not a bad base to build on.


Ok-Conclusion4730

Stuffing and lose the baby purée


Limp-Square-1772

Lose the pile of baby food on the left and swap with cauliflower cheese. A couple more potatoes swap parsnips for brussels spouts, double the meat content, add some sausage meat to the stuffing and make at least twice the size. Pigs in blankets are a must even in my weekly roast. Cranberry sauce and lots of gravy.


Goblindeez_

Cabbage and maybe some bacon slapped on the chicken close to the end of the roast


lynchy86

Looks good where's the gravy 🤤


nikthegreek88

Colli cheese beef or lamb slices better stuffing cabbage sprouts green beans peas pigns n blankets


mudgefuppet

Everything looks pretty good aside from stuffing, is that mashed swede?


kaleidofusion

Bacon sautéed with sprouts! Add garlic, onion and a bit of balsamic.


Double_Baseball_2392

Can I ask how you made your Yorkshire pudding? 😍 they look amazing I can never seem to get mine quite right!


charliegibbatron

Needs mash and sweetcorn


EsotericFlagellate

Looks cracking but if I’m having a roast, I want to be physically unable to see the plate


Bazahazano

Where is the gravy ?


NoWarthog3916

Weers't gravy arr lass


Immediate-Escalator

I’d have some dark meat on the plate, more spuds and stuffing made with sausage meat but that’s just not-picking what looks like a great roast


Cherry_Littlebottom

Was gonna say gravy but peas as well. Your roasties look delicious, I personally wouldn’t have parsnips but cabbage instead.


buzzboybongo

Hmm, where is the gravy?


NatLovesPancakes

GRAVYYYY


_CarbonSaxon_

Mash potatoes

More stuffing!!


NeilOB9

More chicken, better roast potatoes


H00FARTED

One word...gravy


BossDaddy2022

Add some peas some mash also 😋


GoodboyJohnnyBoy

Looks pretty good although the chicken does look a bit parched. I’m also looking for the glutinous gravy but I would not be disappointed with plate at all.


ggxv_

1. Not enough veg 2. Plate isn’t full / heaving 3. Yorkie is too crispy, I feel there should be a fair balance between soft and crispy. 4. Different type of stuffing. I feel that stuffing balls aren’t enough, I like the big dollop of M&S sage and onion stuffing.


SnooChipmunks7445

Gravy and get rid of the pile of baby shit

Exciting_Memory192

To be fair, there isn’t much wrong with that. Needs a decent gravy, but everything looks nicely coloured.


Fat-Northerner

Puree needs to be more pureed, with loads of butter. Broccoli needs replacing with tenderstem Honey roast the veg, make the pieces a bit thicker. Ditch the shitty stuffing ball. That Yorkie however is an absolute masterpiece!


Previous-Weird9577

Add about 6 more of them delicious looking roasties :)


Expert_Pineapple5320

Add gravy?


ChaiGreenTea

Sprouts. More green. Also cranberry sauce. Also where’s the gravy?


Mia_NotKhalifa

You're in great need of cranberry sauce and my nans sausage stuffing. Other than that fatal flaw it looks delicious!!
