Thanks LetsGetChecked for sponsoring this video! Check out all of their at-home tests. 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

Adam doesn't have appreciation of taste and flavor, especially when sophisticated and discriminating. He looks like he does, but he's got a hick palate. Adam tell use what your parents did for a living.
i've made a few of his dishes and he mostly doesn't know good food. he wasted my time.
i've eaten at many 1, 2 and 3 star Michelin restaurants across the world and Adam lacks the ability to identify good flavors in the final product.

Hy Adam, I know you already did more than a video on garlic, but I don't understand something about it: raw it tastes good, but when it's cooked (fresh garlic, without any green spots, for me, without it being burned, tastes slightly bitter. Even freeze-dried and simmered for a long time on low heat, for me tastes a bit bitter. Is there any explanation for it? Kind regards,
A fan.

Just made this today, except I served it with toasted basmati rice instead of cauliflower mash and used basil instead of sage. Also I forgot the capers, oops. I've made a lot of dishes and this might be among the best I've ever done. The way the tomato sauce coats your mouth, the sweet caramelized onions, the juicy chicken. This will _definitely_ be going into the rotation!

On the topic of roasted tomato sauces, your recipe quickly became one of my favorite sauces
I found out though that if, along with the butter, you add a very small piece of good dark chocolate and let it melt into the sauce, it really boosts the flavor and the richness of the
tomatoes so i suggest trying this sometime.

Great recipe and I really want to try this!
Question for you Adam. I don't own a big roasting pan (or any roasting pan for that matter, just the aluminum sheet pans you mentioned not to use. I do own a stainless steel pan. Since I'm just cooking for myself, could I use that instead and maybe do half recipe?

reply

I've been treating my body like a dumpster way too much sugar yesI definitely get what you mean ironically I'm on my way to Wegmans for some hotfudge and I stopped at a little local place to pick up a cocktail not driving by the way taking the bus just want to make that clear lol
reply

Adam if your worried about calorie consumption reduce your fat intake I understand that the butter and olive oil is somewhat traditional for these types of recipes but a stick of butter and 5-6 tbsp of olive oil is not worth it health wise for the flavor they offer
reply

When you take the peppers out, put them straight into a clear plastic bag, the ones you get from the fruit and veg store. When you need to use them (eg. a few minutes later) the burnt skins will slide right off, no effort required: )

Thank you so much for clarifying what capers are, I have had no idea for my whole life, it was one of those things where I couldn t be bothered to google it but was still curious to know. Thank you love your videos

This is the only commercial I watched the whole way. It's such a great concept and business opportunity. Good for the company to come up with this. Edit: with all that dairy, you might as well eat rice lol.
