What do you put on your roast dinners?

[Cornecopia]

Hello 👋 im doing a roast today and just wondered what people usually put on theirs? I tend to do the same veg etc unless it’s Xmas we add pigs in blankets.
on my roast we have:

• homemade yorkshires
• roast potatoes
• broccoli
• Honey roast carrots and roast parsnips
• Stuffing
• cauliflower cheese
• gravy
• meat (chicken, gammon, beef or pork)

Depends on the meat and what veg I have in. Some other things I sometimes do:
-Purple cabbage with sultanas
-Green cabbage with bacon
-Peas, broad beans or edamame beans
-Creamed spinach
-Mashed swede
-Dauphinoise potatoes, often with sweet potatoes in it too
-Roasted pumpkin
-Brussels with bacon/chestnuts or fried in butter and marmite.

If doing pork, I often make a trivet which includes apples in the dish, where as chicken/beef tends to just be onion, celery, carrot etc.

Yorkshire puddings only with beef.
Roast potatoes
3 veg. Not cauliflower cheese, just the veg steamed
Gravy

Simple and delicious.

Roast chicken later and we’ll do stuffing, roast parsnips, carrots, sprouts and maybe savoy cabbage or brocolli. Yorkshires too as DS2 loves them so they’re on every roast!

Cauliflower cheese only with roast pork and I do carrot and swede mash with beef. No particular reason just habit

Generally roast chicken here
Yorkshires
Roast potatoes
Cranberry sauce
Honey roast carrots and parsnips
Peas and broccoli
Gravy

Today with roast beef I shall be doing
Roast potatoes
Roast carrots and quartered onions for dh and me
Steamed carrots for the kids as they don't enjoy them roasted
Peas for the kids
Broccoli

We would have had yorkshires
but I don't have the stuff in to make them.

We keep it simple, steamed or roasted green veg and carrots (usually do some of each for carrots as DH prefers roasted carrots and I prefer steamed, roasted are too sweet). Then roast potatoes and yorkshires, sliced onions/cucumber in vinegar if it’s beef, mustards/sauces depending on the meat, mustard for gammon, pork or chicken, horseradish for beef, mint for lamb. Gravy.

Nothing creamy/cheesy and nothing sweet are the main rules for us.

Yorks
Stuffing with added apple, onion and garlic
Brocoli
Carrot

Onions and leeks

Trying to keep it simple here today, after the Xmas day turkey and a million different vegetables, stuffing etc. which is still traumatising me.

Today is :

roast chicken
tenderstem broccoli
carrots
parsnips
roast potatoes
gravy

Yesterday we had roast potatoes and parsnips, sprouts, peas, gravy made from the meat juices, bread sauce. Probably quite standard. Normally we’d add glazed carrots and broccoli but we can’t eat as much as previously.

Just had one:

meat
crackling
stuffing
pigs in blankets
roast potatoes
carrots
carrot and swede mash
broccoli and cauliflower cheese
gravy

I do different things depending on the meat.

Roast beef - roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, peas or green cabbage, mashed parsnips, gravy.

Roast chicken, roast potatoes, roast parsnips, stuffing, roasted carrots, green beans/runner beans or sprouts if seasonal. Occasionally chipolata sausages alongside, occasionally bread sauce or gravy.

Gammon, roast potatoes, mashed swede, cauliflower cheese, leeks or green cabbage.

Don’t usually do pork or lamb, but sides for pork would be similar to for gammon, might add red cabbage. For lamb, would replace Yorkshire puddings with roasted onions, and peas for green or runner beans.

We do leeks and peas with Roast Pork...

Meat (usually chicken), roast potatoes, broccoli, Yorkshire pudding, gravy.

We never, ever put cauliflower cheese on a roast.
Yorkshire puddings are only ever served with roast beef.
Always roasted potatoes and parsnips. Then carrots plus a green vegetable (sprouts/cabbage) and lashings of proper gravy (no gravy granules used here!)

Apple source Sorry, this made me laugh 😆

Either chicken or nut roast, usually with roast potatoes and root veg - carrots, beetroot, parsnips etc and then something green -either savoy cabbage or purple sprouting.

We don't either, it's a meal by itself so we have it as a separate meal.

I really don't get Carrots / Parsnips glazed with Maple Syrup or Honey. They have a natural sweetness which is intensified by roasting; additional sugar is not required.

I mix things up as have a roast relatively frequently, particularly in the cooler months.
All roasts will have roast potatoes and parsnip.
Meat tends to be chicken, beef or gammon, very occasionally pork.
There will always be gravy, usually with red wine for beef.
Beef will always be served with yorkshires but they may also appear with other meats. I always do stuffing balls with chicken, usually sage and onion but will some times add other things if they need using up or just to mix things up a bit.
I like a good variety of veg on a roast and vary it dependent on what in season, what other veg we've had that week etc. A roast usually has at least 3 or 4 veg plus roast parsnips.
Carrots will feature in some way be that roasted, steamed, mashed with swede.
Usually either cauli or broccoli. Occasionally in a cheese sauce, more often either steamed or roasted. Broccoli is occasionally stirfried with garlic, otherwise just steamed.
Leeks
Green beans
Red cabbage
Mange tout
Roasted red onions
In the summer asparagus
Runner beans
Occasionally peas
Every roast is served with a condiment, mustard with all, horseradish with beef, bread sauce and cranberry with chicken, gamon red current jelly or apple sauce.

We've just had roast pork and I managed to get the cracking spot on!
Yorkshires, stuffing, mashed potatoes, honey and caraway seed roast carrots and parsnips, broccoli cheese, boiled sprouts and a mix of red and white braised cabbage (can you tell I'm using up all the veg that's been lurking in the fridge!), gravy and apple sauce.

Haha same my kids absolutely love yorkshires

Vegetarian here :
Alongside a nut roast or other vegetarian dish .
Roast potatoes
Yorkshire pudding
Roast parsnips
Carrots
Broccoli or cabbage or Brussels sprouts
Peas or green beans
Vegetarian gravy ( Homemade or granules )

Meat
Roast potatoes
Vegetables

Gravy
And always yorkshire puddings

Then whatever condiments the person eating wants.

We’re on chicken today as I plan to make a pie with the left overs tomorrow (fingers crossed there is any!)

We only have yorkshire puddings if it's beef (and that's very rarely).

No cauliflower cheese.

We tend to have our vegetables plain steamed! Perhaps we're really boring?

We're having roast chicken today so will have chicken, stuffing (paxo!), roast potatoes, roast parsnips, purple sprouting broccoli, carrots, green beans and gravy.
