***RECIPE, SERVES 4-5***

For the chicken

1.5 lb (.7 kg) boneless skinless chicken thighs, 5 or 6 thighs
2 lb (1 kg) tomatoes, cut in half
3 bell peppers, cut in half, seeds and stems removed
3 shallots (or 1 onion), cut in half and peeled
5-6 garlic cloves, crushed and peeled
capers
balsamic vinegar
olive oil
salt
pepper
fresh sage
fresh thyme

For the cauliflower

1 head cauliflower, roughly chopped into florets
5-6 garlic cloves, peeled and roughly chopped
2-4 tbsp butter
a little milk or buttermilk
grated parmesan or pecorino cheese
salt
pepper

For the chicken, start your oven's broiler (grill) heating to maximum. Put the chicken, tomatoes, peppers, shallots and garlic into a large roasting tray. Drizzle everything with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, toss to get everything coated, position all the vegetables cut-side down, and get everything spread evenly with minimal overlap. Tuck the garlic under the chicken to protect it from burning.

Put the tray under the broiler and check on it frequently. You want everything but the chicken and the garlic to burn. When the chicken is brown on the top side, flip it over. When the peppers feel just barely cooked, take them out. When the chicken is brown on both sides, add some capers and a splash of balsamic vinegar to the pan. If there isn't enough liquid in the pan to stew the chicken, put in some water, and/or cover the chicken pieces with tomatoes so that they'll get plenty of wet heat.

When the chicken feels soft (after maybe 45 minutes), take the pan out. Lift as many of the burnt skins as possible off of the tomatoes and shallots and discard — don't worry if you can't get them all off. Push the chicken to one side of the tray and everything else to the other. Use a wooden spoon to mash the tomatoes, garlic and shallots into a sauce, taking care to scrape and dissolve any fond in the pan. Gently coat the chicken pieces in the sauce, then turn the burner under that side of the pan on medium-low to simmer the chicken in the sauce for a few minutes.

Peel as much burnt skin as possible off the peppers and cut them into strips. Return them to the roasting tray to reheat. Taste the sauce and consider adding any additional salt or vinegar it needs. Tear in a few sage leaves and gently toss everything together. Garnish on the plate with fresh thyme leaves.

For the cauliflower, put the florets into a pot and cover them halfway up with water. Cover the pot and boil/steam until soft. Drain. Return the empty pot to the heat, melt in the butter and let it brown. Turn off the heat and stir in the garlic. Let it cook for a moment, then stir in the cauliflower. Mash it up or puree it (an emersion blender is easiest). Mix in a little milk until you like the texture (you might want very little or none at all). Stir in grated cheese, salt and pepper to taste.
