This is an adaptation of a recipe from May's Good Housekeeping [to which I have a subscription] and my excuse for including it here is that I used the beautiful, tiny, Sicilian datterini tomatoes in place of cherry ones. With a recipe like this, in which courgettes, aubergine, peppers and the tomatoes are all roasted with the chicken is that, unless you are very precise in your vegetable cutting, the vegetables don't all cook at the same rate. Therefore I decided to processor-slice the courgettes and that took ages as , not having used my processor for slicing since I got here, I couldn't find the "carrier" thing for the slicing blade! [Do things like that happen to you in the kitchen?] An hour later I was equipped, then enjoyed myself making a paste of garlic, loads of basil, thyme, olive oil and seasoning to rub nice and messily over the chicken. [There was supposed to be mint but I couldn't get any, so added my favourite herb, rosemary.] Interestingly, you squeeze the juice of a lemon over this dish after it is cooked. I shall certainly be making this again!

Oh yes I lose things all the time in my kitchen!
The result looks worth all the effort though and the thought of those tomatoes....
We had roast pork with all the trimmings in the Seymour house tonight. Have you cooked Yorkshire puddings for your Sicilian friends?
Glad I am not alone in that, then, cherrypie! Hi, Ellee. No, I've never cooked Yorkshire puds here. To be honest, hardly ever cooked them in Britain as I am not a fan of the Sunday roast. The things won't rise in most Ital ovens anyway.
My kitchen's too small to lose things, but I know I have some bowls somewhere .....
Your recipes almost convince me to start cooking again. Almost, but not quite, as I'd be the only one eating the food, and I'd have to make two other meals for the others anyhow. Just not worth the trouble.
I do hope your water supply gets sorted soon,
I don't have any of your ingredients, bar one.
I DO actually have some mint sauce.
your food always looks so good.... maybe i ned to stop cooking cakes and make more main course food although it would have to be vegetarian for geoff :-)
fav food in my house is yorkshire pud and i make a good one too :-)
Ooh delicious!
Hi, dragonstar. Well, I freeze most of these dishes in portions. Thanks for your good wishes re the water! Aaah, Crushed, mint sauce is something I miss! Hi, Sally. Thank you and next time I'm in the Uk I'll stop by for a Yorkshire pud if I may! Hadn't realised Geoff was veggie. Thanks, jams.
I always tell myself never to look at food posts early in the morning but never listen...to myself.
This is certainly a scrumptious-looking meal!
Now this is very yummy looking. It was just not your day today Welshcakes, but I'm sure the delectable Patrizio cheered you up a little.
Just about to get my lunch eating up some cous cous and beetroot, curious combination but just don't like wasting anything - it will be colourful no doubt. I love roasted vegetables so your recipe must have been delicious.
Ciao, Rowena and thank you. Hi, jmb. Yes, Patrizio the Wonderful kept me going! Hi, kissa. I love couscous but have never been keen on beetroot. But I'm sure your dish tasted, and looked, wonderful.
