Roast question!

[Ange1979]

Hi Guys!

I'm on my own this Xmas with fiance in the UK, so need to go to my brains trust here on Bellly Belly with this question! LOL!

I am doing a lamb roast. Is it safe for me to put the vegies - the pumpkin, potato and sweet potato - into the same dish as the lamb?

I usually let the roast cook substantially first, then for the final 90 mins or so, I add the vegies.

Is this safe? Are there cross-contamination issues at all?

Thanks so much!

It'll be fine. The meat will be cooked anyway so if meat juices get into the veggies it will be fine I assume. I never cook a roast any other way...it saves washing up another tray and makes the veg taste super good!
