After all that pickled fish and those hot cross buns, Easter Sunday arrives and we get to feast on all things meaty. Clement Pedro shares a recipe for the ultimate slow-cooked potatoes and carrots to accompany your Easter roast.

Try these slow-cooked potatoes and carrots to go with all those delicious meat dishes – they take a little time but are so worth the effort. It sounds simple enough, but if you’ve never tried this method of cooking vegetables you’re in for a treat.

1 Place the potatoes and carrots in a pan, cut side down. Add the thyme, garlic and chicken stock.

3 Place the pan over a medium heat and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until just tender. Remove from the heat.
