Potatoes

Herb Roasted Garlic Butter

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Garlic Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the whole garlic cloves and cook for about 5 minutes, until softened and fragrant. Stir in the fresh rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and let it infuse while you prepare the vegetables.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Rinse the French beans and trim the ends. Cut the baby bell peppers in half and remove the seeds. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash the baby potatoes and cut them in half. Boil them in salted water for about 10-12 minutes until just tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Char the Baby Peppers

    Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the halved baby bell peppers cut side down on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until charred and tender. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 5

    Crispy Potatoes

    In the same grill pan, add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the boiled baby potatoes cut side down and cook for about 5-7 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Turn them occasionally for even crisping.

  3. 6

    Sauté the French Beans

    In a separate skillet, add a little olive oil and sauté the trimmed French beans over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, arrange the crispy potatoes, charred baby peppers, and sautéed French beans. Drizzle generously with the herb roasted garlic butter. Serve immediately.
