This is a fresh spin on an old classic. We've changed up the glaze a little and added some colourful, seasonal, autumn vegetables to roast and steam, to make this a complete meal. Feel free to use whatever vegetables are in season though. When you've got company, take this quick and easy meal to the next level, by plating in up to look gorgeous on a big platter or board.
