  1. GET ROASTIN’

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Boil a full kettle. Place the chicken on a roasting tray. Pat dry with some paper towel, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 35-40 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.

  2. AWESOME RICE

    Rinse the rice and place in a pot over a medium-high heat. Submerge in 300ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and set aside to steam for a further 10 minutes. On completion, drain if necessary and fluff up with a fork.

  3. THE SOURCE OF THE SAUCE

    Dilute the stock with 50ml of boiling water. Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, add the grated garlic and the rub and fry for 1 minute, until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, the chopped tomato, the diluted stock, and the cream. Mix until fully combined and roughly mash with a fork. Reduce the heat and leave to simmer for 5-7 minutes or until slightly reduced, stirring occasionally. In the final 1-2 minutes, add the sliced pickled peppers.

  4. TUSCAN SAUCE

    When the sauce has reduced, add the rinsed spinach and ½ the grated cheese. Mix until the spinach is wilted. Season to taste.

  5. EATING UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN!

    Plate up the rice and side with the creamy tomato & pepper sauce. Serve alongside the roasted chicken pieces. Sprinkle over the chopped parsley and the remaining grated cheese. Wowzers, Chef!
