These pan-roasted potatoes with olives and lemon offer a vibrant twist on a classic side dish. By simmering the potatoes with aromatic cumin and bright citrus zest, you create a depth of flavour that is both refreshing and savoury. The addition of briny green olives provides a salty contrast to the tender, earthy potatoes, making this a standout accompaniment to any Mediterranean-inspired meal.
This simple vegan recipe is perfect for busy weeknights as it requires just one frying pan and minimal preparation. Using small potatoes ensures a quick cooking time, while the finishing touch of fresh flat-leaf parsley adds a burst of colour and herbal notes. Serve these potatoes alongside grilled vegetables or a crisp seasonal salad for a light yet satisfying plant-based lunch.
