1	chicken stock cube, dissolved in hot water and a separate vegetable stock cube for the veggies
1 tsp	sugar, for each
1 tsp	cornflour, for each

Instructions

Preheat the oven to as high as it will go; 250 – 270°C.

Parboil the potatoes as above.

Bring some salted water to the boil and place the brown rice in it to boil for 25 – 30 minutes.

Prepare two roasting tins with olive oil and split the vegetables between them, including the potatoes, sprinkle with the herbs and garlic, some seasoning and some more oil. Place in the oven for about 20 – 25 minutes, until browning and toasting at the edges

For the carnivores, coat the chicken strips in olive oil and spread on the tops of the vegetables in one roasting tin, when there is about 12 – 15 minutes to go out of the 25, until browning and toasting at the edges.

In the meantime prepare the lemon sauce. Add boiling water to the stock cube(s) and dissolve. Add the lemon zest and juice and sugar to each, then stir in the cornflour in a little water. Microwave on low for 2 minutes or place in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer, stirring. Transfer to veggie and carnivore sauce boats for the table.

Drain the rice and serve on each plate, spooning over the roasted vegetables, using the chicken roasted veg for the carnivores. Serve with the lemon sauces to pour.
