Cooking Steps
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Lay the chicken onto a baking tray, drizzle with oil, sprinkle over half the peri peri seasoning and season with salt and pepper.
Roast the chicken on the top shelf of your oven until cooked through, 25-30 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water with 0.5 tsp salt to the boil for the potatoes.
Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peel first if you prefer).
When boiling, add the potatoes to the water and cook until you can easily slip a knife through, 15-20 mins.
While the potato boils, halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium saucepan on medium heat. Once hot, add the onion, season with salt and pepper and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden, 10-12 mins.
Meanwhile, trim the green beans, then cut into thirds. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
When the onion's softened, add half the garlic, remaining peri peri spice and sugar (see pantry for amount) and cook until caramelised, 1-2 mins more.
Stir the ricotta and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) into the onion. Simmer until piping hot, 2-3 mins. Season well with salt and pepper, then remove from the heat and cover with a lid to keep warm.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once the pan is hot, add the green beans and stir-fry until starting to char, 2-3 mins.
Stir in the remaining garlic, then turn the heat down to medium and cook for 1 min. Add the cavolo nero and a splash of water and immediately cover with a lid or some foil.
Cook until the beans and cavolo are tender, 4-5 mins. Remove the pan from the heat, season with salt and pepper and stir in the butter (see pantry for amount) until melted.
While the beans fry and once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and return to the pan, off the heat.
Add a knob of butter and a splash of milk (if you have any) and mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in half the hard Italian cheese.
Once everything's ready, reheat the sauce if needed.
Cut the chicken widthways into 2cm slices.
Spoon the spiced ricotta sauce onto your serving plates and top with the sliced chicken. Serve the mashed potato and garlicky veg alongside.
Finish by sprinkling the remaining cheese over the chicken.
Enjoy!
