Because she has the time on Sunday, Caroline Andrews is usually the one to prepare this dish, which she calls "a meal in one." She serves it with a mixed green salad tossed with a simple oil-and-vinegar dressing.

Ingredients

  • 1 small rutabaga, (1-1/2 lb/750 g)
  • 4 red potatoes, (1-1/2 lb/750 g total)
  • 1 bag pearl onions, peeled
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 chicken, (5 lb/2.2 kg)
  • 1 tbsp grated lemon rind
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced

Preparation

Halve and cut rutabaga into 1-1/2-inch (4 cm) thick slices; peel and cut into 1-1/2-inch (4 cm) chunks. Scrub potatoes; cut into quarters.

In large bowl, toss together rutabaga chunks, potatoes, pearl onions, 2 tbsp (25 mL) of the olive oil, salt and pepper. Set aside.

Tie chicken legs together; tuck wings under back. Place on rack in large roasting pan. Scatter vegetables around chicken.

Whisk together remaining oil, lemon rind and juice, mint and garlic; pour over chicken. Roast in 375°F (190°C) oven, stirring vegetables and basting chicken occasionally, for 1-3/4 to 2 hours or until juices run clear when thigh is pierced and meat thermometer inserted in thigh registers 185°F (85°C).

Transfer chicken to cutting board; tent with foil and let stand for 10 minutes before carving. Serve with vegetables.
