Potato & Sage Rosti w Caramelized Roasted Cherry Tomatoes & Goats Cheese served with Chilli Lemon Roast Broccoli & Zucchini



This isn't exactly low fat... But it looks and tastes good! The Rosti is nice and crunchy and the tomatoes are sweet sticky and soft. the cheese is salty but not too knock-your-socks-off strong and the greens are nice and cleansing and fresh with a bit of bite to even it all out. also its quick to make.
