One of the most iconic British dishes is the ‘Sunday Roast’ or ‘Sunday Dinner’. It’s definitely a good reason to look forward to Sundays and can be great if you have a lot of people coming round and you need to cook a large amount of food. Just a note, a Sunday Roast is also great comfort food for those more lonesome times if you’re feeling a little more introvert.
Traditional Sunday Roast A Sunday Roast usually consists of roast potatoes, stuffing, mash, roasted meat, Yorkshire puddings, gravy and vegetables. But every household may have their own version or different trimmings to their taste. Although they are not seasonal you may choose to accompany meat with vegetables that are in season. A Sunday Roast can be cooked any day of the week but traditionally is cooked on a Sunday. BBC Good Food have some great recipes that will inspire you to decide on your roast and choice of ingredients.
