A Summer Supper

Mise en place

The colours of this season always bring me happiness, even when the meteorological situation does not.

On a sunny Saturday afternoon in July, (there is a comforting breeze though,) .. it's this one tray bake for me. A slightly adjusted version of a previous recipe: https://minhallandjones.com/blog/2020/8/11/summer-bounty

Roasted Chicken, Lemon, Pepper, Tomato & Mint

For Two

2 Chicken Thighs (boned & skinned)

2 Romano Peppers sliced & deseeded

1 Yellow Pepper, ditto

200g Cherry Tomatoes left whole

3 or 4 Heritage Tomatoes quartered/halved

4/5 Garlic Cloves peeled & squashed

2/3 Lemons quartered

Fresh Mint

Oil

Seasoning

Oven on at 200/400/Gas Mark 6

Into a roasting tin or baking tray go all of the peppers, the small cherry tomatoes plus the slightly fatter Heritage toms & then the flattened garlic cloves & the chicken thighs

Add 2 tbsps of the oil to the tray before some salt & pepper

Into the oven to bake for 50-60 minutes

Quarter the lemons & add to the joy that is in the roasting tin for 5 minutes

All ready for the table bar the mint just torn and thrown across the dish with gay abandon

Tonight I'm having this with an Avocado & Spring Onion Salad. A little bit of Lime on the top to finish.
