Ingredients
- 500 g (1lb 2oz) Chantenay carrots
- 500 g (1lb 2oz) Brussels sprouts
- 50 g (2oz) butter, roughly cubed
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 clementine, halved
- 3 thyme sprigs
- 1 medium egg white
Directions
- Step 1
Cut two pieces of baking parchment to measure about 38 x 51cm (15 x 20in). Lay one in a large, shallow roasting tin. Scatter all the ingredients (except egg white) into the centre, leaving a 7.5cm (3in) wide border all the way around. Season the pile of vegetables well.
- Step 2
Brush the parchment border with some of the egg white. Place the second piece of baking parchment on top. Press around the border to stick the two pieces of parchment
together, then fold the borders over on themselves a few times to seal into a secure parcel. Brush folds with more egg white to stick. - Step 3
Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6. Bake parcel in its tin in the bottom of the oven for 45min. Remove parcel in its tin and set aside to rest at room temperature for 15min (the turkey will also be resting).
- Step 4
Just before serving, carefully pierce paper (watch out for steam). Toss vegetables in the buttery juices. Transfer to a warm dish and serve.
- Step 1
Get Ahead
Prepare recipe to end of step 2 up to a day ahead. Store assembled parcel in its roasting tin in the fridge. On the day, remove from fridge 30min before you want to start cooking. Complete recipe.
