1 lb (500 g) fingerling potatoes, halved
1/4 cup (50 mL) butter, melted
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1-1/4 tsp (6 mL) each salt and pepper
1/4 cup (50 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp (15 mL) each coarsely chopped fresh parsley, basil and chervil
1 tsp (5 mL) finely grated lemon rind
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1 bunch very small carrots (about 6 oz/175 g)
8 oz (250 g) baby pattypan squash
4 oz (125 g) snow peas
4 oz (125 g) sugar snap peas
1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice
1 cup (250 mL) pea sprouts
Preparation:
In small roasting pan, toss together potatoes, butter, thyme and 1 tsp (5 mL) each of the salt and pepper. Cover and roast in 400°F (200°C) oven, stirring occasionally, until tender and light golden, about 40 minutes. (Make-ahead: Let cool. Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.)
Meanwhile, in large bowl, combine oil, parsley, basil, chervil, lemon rind and green onions; set aside. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 4 hours.)
Peel carrots. In saucepan of boiling salted water, cook carrots until tender-crisp, about 2 minutes. With slotted spoon, transfer to colander; drain. Add squash and snow and sugar snap peas to pan; cook until tender-crisp, about 1 minute. Drain. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 4 hours.)
Add carrots, snow and sugar snap peas, squash, potato mixture, lemon juice, and remaining salt and pepper to herb mixture; toss gently to coat. Arrange on serving platter. Garnish with pea sprouts.
