Ingredients
For the vegetables:
- 500g carrots
- 500g butternut squash
- 500g Jerusalem artichoke
- 1 tsp Bart Ground Cumin
- 1 tsp Bart Ground Coriander
- 1 tsp Bart Smoked Paprika
- 1 tsp Bart Chilli Powder
- 1 tsp Bart Turmeric
For the dressing:
- 2 preserved lemons
- 1 bunch chives
- 1 banana shallot
- 6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 lemon
For the labneh:
- 400g labneh
- 1 tsp Bart Smoked Garlic Paste
For the curry leaves:
- 50g butter
- 1 tsp Bart Garam Masala
- 2 tbsp Bart Curry Leaves
Everything else:
- Sunflower or vegetable oil
- Bart Sea Salt and Black Pepper
- 80g pomegranate seeds
Method
- Preheat oven to 190C / 370F / Gas Mark 5. Prepare the vegetables by peeling and chopping into evenly sized large-ish pieces. Add all the dry spices along with a good drizzle of oil and generous seasoning. Mix well and place in the oven for 45 minutes.
- Whilst the veg roasts, prepare the dressing by finely dicing the shallot and adding to a large bowl, big enough to hold the roasted vegetables once cooked. Finely chop the chives add these to the bowl too. Half then quarter the preserved lemons, using a knife slice away the fleshy interior to leave just the lemon peel. Discard the flesh then finely dice the lemon peel/ rind and add to the bowl. Finally add the oil, mustard, sugar, and lemon juice. Mix well and season to taste.
- To prepare the labneh simply mix the yogurt with the smoked garlic paste and some seasoning, set aside.
- Once the vegetables are cooked (tender but enough bite to hold together) remove from the oven and place into the bowl with the dressing. Using a large metal spoon gently mix together so the vegetables are evenly covered in the dressing.
- Next heat a frying pan over a high heat and add the butter. Once melted and starting to foam, add the curry leaves and cook in the foaming butter until it starts to caramelise and turn a light brown. Once you smell a nutty like aroma the butter is done; remove from the heat and add the garam masala.
- To plate up, smear the labneh onto the bottom of the plate and pile the vegetables on top. Spoon over the brown butter curry leaves and top with the pomegranate seeds.
