6x garlic cloves. In small pieces.

Generous glug of olive oil

1x big bunch of curly leaf parsley 🌿

1x bag of green beans (top & tailed)

4x slices of smoked salmon

2x lemons 🍋 cut in half.

Method

1) place the new potatoes and parsley and garlic into the roasting tin.

2) add the Olive Oil.

3) cook for 40 mins on 220.

4) meanwhile boil the green beans.

5) After cooking take the ingredients and either spoon them out onto individual plates, or one big cooking dish.

6) i then added some smoked salmon ( taking advantage of the 3 for £10 offer in Marks) ( it freezes well)

7) plate up and enjoy!!!

These heroes!! The flora wasn’t needed in the end.

Garlic herb 🌿 potatoes – smelling divine rn.

M&S smoked salmon. On offer and freezable ( very filling!)

Pure health! As my dad would say. Myself and Adz scoffed this! Definitely love this combo of ingredients!! Change from herbs to paprika on the new potatoes. I added a tiny bit of sea salt to the green beans.

Enjoy making this! Yay.
