Method
- Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Scatter the veg over a couple of baking trays, drizzle with half the oil, season, then rub the oil over the veg with your hands to coat. Roast for 30 mins until tender and beginning to brown.
- Meanwhile, fry the spices in the remaining oil for 1 min – they should sizzle and start to smell aromatic. Tip in the tomatoes, apricots, honey and a can of water. Simmer for 5 mins until the sauce is slightly reduced and the apricots plump, then stir in the veg and some seasoning. Serve with couscous or jacket potatoes.

I have made this twice in the crockpot (slow cooker) and it's amazing BUT it's not great teh day it's cooked. Becasue the slow cooker doesn't allow the escape of any moisture the veggies are more like boiled than roasted. So what I've done both times is a huge batch (5 x the recipe) and then over the next few days put some of the cooked veggies back into the slow cooker with a piece of meat. I've done it with chicken, turkey and lamb, anything will work provided the meat has a bone. The result is an amazing dish of meat and roast veggies with the most incredible flavour and texture. it's a brilliant way to get people to eat their veggies and tons of them as these are just gorgeous.
I also omit the apricots and add some chili but that's just personal preference.
