Bunnylushes sundried balsamic pasta
She's says
' I use my slow cooker but I'm sure you can do it in a lidded casserole dish in the oven?

A full pack of small vine tomatoes ( or any) put into SC. squash a little to break skins.

A chopped garlic put in SC

A big slosh or 5 tbsp balsamic vinegar put in SC

I leave mine on low all day or half a day. In oven I'm guessing 45 mins to hour?

When ready to eat ,boil pasta,drain, throw into SC. to soak up juice. Serve and eat with a spoon or your chasing pasta. It's so so tasty.'

MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN BAKE
*****************************
RECIPE USES 4 CHICKEN THIGHS TO SERVE 4 BUT I USED 7 AS THEY WERE TOO SMALL TO GIVE THE BOYS ONLY 1!

chicken thighs skin removed
... 681g potatoes thickly sliced
511g tomatoes thickly sliced, i used normal sized but i think cherry vines would have been nicer
3onions sliced
fresh herbs about a handful - i used mint, coriander and parsley as thats what i had in.
4 garlic cloves finely chopped
1 tsp chilli flakes i used lazy chilli
finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon - THIS MADE IT VERY LEMONY SO I WOULD USE HALF THE ZEST AND JUICE NEXT TIME SO ITS NOT OVERPOWERING
142ml chicken stock

preheat oven gas 6/ 200c
season chicken thighs with salt and pepper then fry in a pan until all sides are browning and 'sealed, recipe said 4 mins i did it for about 9.
remove from pan then reuse pan to fry potatoes until browned, then onions.
layer the base of a roasting dish with the potatoes onions and tomatoes. top with chicken then sprinkle on chilli, garlic, herbs, and lemon. add the stock, cover with foil and bake for 20 mins, then remove foil and bake until you are happy its all browned enough.

i say this as the sw recipe said cook for 10-15 mins! hello! thats not long enough for everything to cook. especially chicken on bone. i checked after stated time and toms and onions were still hard and chicken was not cooked so i would remove foil after 20 then continue cooking. i did another 17 mins. i served mine with mashed celeriac and brussels. warming winter dish that went down well except with lolly who said it was like eating lemons.
