Cooking Steps

Prepare
1
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C.
  • Slice the cheese into three thick slabs per person. Transfer to a bowl of cold water and set aside until further use.
  • Cut the potatoes into 2cm chunks and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and scatter over the oregano. Season with salt and pepper, then toss well to coat.
Chop the vegetables
2
  • Roast the potatoes on the top shelf of the oven for 30 - 40 minutes, tossing halfway.
  • Slice the courgette into crescents of 2cm thickness and roughly dice the bell pepper.
  • Cut the onion into wedges and slice the garlic clove. 
  • Transfer all four to a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss well to coat.
Fry the cheese
3
  • Roast the vegetables on the middle shelf of the oven for 20 - 25 minutes, tossing halfway.
  • During the final 10 minutes of roasting time, drain the cheese and pat dry with kitchen paper.
  • Heat a clean frying pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is nice and hot, fry the cheese for 2 - 3 minutes per side until golden-brown.
Serve
4
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine the pesto with the water for the sauce. Add more water if you'd prefer it to be less thick.
  • Serve the potatoes and vegetables on plates.
  • Top with the cheese and then drizzle everything with the pesto to finish.
