Kill the fatted courgette - we're having a roast

I've mentioned before how my Mum laughs when I say we're having a roast (see Who Invited the Vegetarians to the BBQ?) as she can't imagine a roast with no meat! I've made a few 'roasts' this winter & love the winter veges available.
This night we had field mushrooms with cherry tomatoes and garlic on them; brocollini - also with some cherry tomatoes as it keeps it moist; eggplants; courgettes; onions & garlic.
Of course its not a real pretend roast without the golden potatoes, which we had with kumara & rosemary. And just so it wasn't all vegetables, we had golden pan fried haloumi too. 
This has been Sydney's coldest winter in 30 years apparently - having a roast is a good way to forget all about how cold it is outside. Unfortunately I wasn't quite as organised as my Mum who usually makes rhubarb crumble when she makes a roast. Something to aspire too, if not the meat.
