Sunday Roast

This is a perfect dish to make during the summer months with a salad or in the cooler months with some roasted vegetables. It is easy and tasty. I love using fresh rosemary, luckily I have bush growing in my neighbours garden which I can take whenever I want. Try and find it in your local area or better yet grow it yourself. It grows easily and is a good hardy herb to have. You can mix up the herbs depending on season and availability. As long as it had a herby garlic and lemon taste this dish will work nicely. 

Ingredients

1 whole grass fed organic chicken

3 cloves of garlic

1 stem of fresh rosemary

1/2 large lemon

Oliver oil

A good grind of pepper

1 tsp of pink salt

4. Cook for 45 mins on the breast side down. Flip and cook for another 45 mins or till golden brown.
