A collective of NZ top chefs (including Olivia Galletly – The Hungry Cook and Glen File of Onslow) are showcasing their love for cast iron in a Lodge Cast Iron cookbook featuring their top recipes. Now available with any Lodge purchase across September.
Ingredients:
- 200g chorizo, sliced
- 8 shallots, halved
- 500g cherry tomatoes
- 2 red capsicums, chopped
- 1 head of garlic, top trimmed
- 6 boneless chicken thighs, skin on
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 tsp caster sugar
- 390g tin of butter beans, drained
- 200g kalamata olives
- sea salt & cracked pepper to taste
Method:
- Heat the oven to 180ºC fan bake.
- In a small Lodge skillet, fry chorizo until crispy. There’s no need to add oil to the pan because chorizo has a lot of fat in it.
- Place the chorizo in the Lodge cast iron roasting dish, along with the shallots, cherry tomatoes, red capsicum, garlic and chicken.
- Top with olive oil, smoked paprika, rosemary, red wine vinegar, caster sugar and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine and then turn the chicken thighs skin side up.
- Place in the oven and roast for 40 minutes. Occasionally baste the chicken thighs with juices.
- Remove the chicken thighs from the roasting dish and set aside.
- Add the butter beans and olives and gently stir through. Place the chicken thighs back on top and return to the oven for 10-15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
