VEGETARIAN SPANISH "CHICKEN" WITH PEPPERS



Vegetarian Spanish

I previously posted the original recipe with real chicken. Our family became vegetarian after that recipe was posted, and we've been converting our favorite recipes into the vegetarian versions. We loved the vegetarian version of this recipe and decided to share it with the rest of the world. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do! For the vegetarian chicken, we use Worthington Vegetable Skallops. Although they are technically supposed to be a replacement for scallops, we like the color and texture of this as a chicken replacement. I've made it three times with perfect results each time. If you like your food a little more spicy, like we do, add a bit more cayenne and maybe even some cumin seeds. We serve this on rice. This recipe is fully vegan.

Add this easy dinner recipe to your repertoire - simply pop herby chicken thighs into a roasting tin with colourful veg and spicy sausage

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Supper

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 fat garlic cloves
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, plus a few sprigs
4 tsp rapeseed or olive oil
8 chicken thighs on the bone, excess skin trimmed
economy bag mixed peppers (about 700g), halved and deseeded
140g piece of chorizo, roughly chopped (we used a spicy one)
20 pitted black olives
200g cherry tomatoes
3 tbsp sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
crusty bread, pasta or potatoes, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Using a pestle and mortar, crush the garlic and thyme leaves with a little seasoning and 2 tsp oil to make a paste. If you don't have a pestle and mortar, finely grate the garlic, then stir everything together.
  • Rub the herb and garlic paste on the underside of the chicken to flavour it.
  • Cut each of the pepper halves into 2 or 3 chunky strips, depending on their size. Pile into a large roasting tin with the chorizo and olives, toss with the remaining oil, then sit the chicken on top, skin-side up. Scatter over the tomatoes, spoon over the vinegar, season and tuck in the thyme sprigs.
  • Roast for 1 hr until the chicken skin is crispy and the vegetables have softened. Serve with crusty bread, pasta or potatoes.
