What's your inexpensive Sunday Roast?

[NotWaitingPatiently]

Today we are having a pork loin seasoned with herbs, slow-cooked on a bed of veg (which we'll use to make a gravy). Served with boulangere potatoes, peas and glazed carrots.

Pork was on offer at £3.50 a kilo; the whole joint cost £6.00, and there will be enough left for another meal.

The veg / stock / flour / seasonings cost less than £3.00.

Four adults fed for less than £2.00 per portion.

What are your inexpensive roasts?

A roast chicken, roast potatoes, Yorkshire puds, stuffing, veg and gravy.
The usual.

Pork, chicken or a piece of topside slow cooked.

Gammon is also qyite economical because it does a carbonara and chicken and ham pie later in the week.

It was yummy!

Good quality sausages are an option.

a take away lol yours looks lovely so much to do so little hours do be bothered

That's the worst roast dinner I've ever seen, it looks like a frozen ready meal.

🤣🤣🤣

I love my portmeirion dinner plates. The gravy doesn't run off the side.

The meal looks lovely, @OP, and I agree about the plate - gravy retention is important.

God why are people so unnecessarily rude?! Sounds lovely OP.

Absolutely no need for some of the rude comments.🙈

We had a Sainsbury whole chicken - £3.66 - got it with our online shop this morning. With roasted potatoes, tenderstem broccoli and greens with gravy. Served 5 with leftovers like a real MN chicken!

I don’t think of a Sunday dinner being a particularly expensive meal, apart from putting the oven on! It’s mostly vegetables.

This thread has mean comments.
So for beef i slow cook a cheaper joint and slow cook it for 4-6 hours and make enough for day two.

Otherwise chicken or pork but i dont love pork. My son loves honey roast gammon and the little joints are cheap.

What sort of cut are those spuds called?

Your dinner looks lovely!

Chicken legs are a great cheap (and relatively quick) roast option. M&S's chicken is gorgeous and only £1.50 for 2 legs!

How unpleasant.

Chicken legs are a good shout. Meat has got so expensive.

Good god, what possesses people to make these pointlessly unpleasant remarks.

Vegetarian Wellington, roast potatoes and it's sprout season, yum!

I'm trying to perfect a veg crumble recipe for Christmas, haven't done hugely well so far.

No doubt the reform voters will have a flounce!

I buy very little meat during the week, but do splurge on a chicken for Sunday dinner most weeks. I do buy organic, which bumps up the cost, but the veg are relatively cheap.

The potatoes are boulangere.
Thin slices of potato and onion layered in a dish. covered with stock and baked.
I like it because it's not as heavy as dauphinoise.

Chicken (thighs or whole if intending to make stock tomorrow), potatoes, veg.

Depending upon mood, adding different seasonings/herbs/marinades. Stick in airfryer, come back when it beeps.
