Spiced vegetable

The vegetable dish here came almost as an after-thought; perhaps as a result of being a true-blue carnivore, but nevertheless an important component of any meal. That being said, I sorta concocted the recipe as I went along and it turned out mighty good!

Here's the recipe:

INGREDIENTS
6-8 small potatoes cut-up in chunks
1 carrot
1 brocolli  or other veg as desired(optional)
A handful of fresh herbs (parsely, marjoram, thyme, italian basil, rosemary, sage)
Salt to taste
yellow onion (sliced)
Some black pepper
Olive oil
Stock/Juice from the roasted turkey (optional)

METHOD:
  1. Boil the taters and carrots for about 10-15 mins till they become rather soft. Then drain the water and set aside on a a baking tray
  2. Top the boiled taters and carrots with the sliced onions
  3. Add in the fother vegetables, fresh herbs, salt and pepper to taste
  4. Sprinkle over the olive oil liberally
  5. Add the stock/juices from the roast turkey and mix all of them thoroughly then set aside for about 15 mins
  6. When about ready to serve, pop the baking tray into the oven to brown the taters and carrots for about half and hour.
  7. Serve hot.
