Roasted Lovely-ness!

This is a one pan meal, that is easy to prepare, and really yummy to eat!

Roasted chicken legs, cauliflower, red onion, garlic, cherry tomatoes and herbs, with white wine and quinoa!

There's no real recipe here, but this is what I made for two.

Quinoa
4 chicken legs
1 head of garlic, separated but skins left on
1 small head cauliflower, sliced into thick 1" steaks
1 large red onion, quartered
2 dozen ripe cherry tomatoes
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 sprigs fresh thyme
3 c white wine
olive oil
1/2 stick butter
sea salt
pinch chili flakes

Place the chicken in a roasting pan with some olive oil and sea salt.  Now put it in a hot 400* oven, for about 40 minutes or until it's starting to brown and get crispy.  Then add the cauliflower, onion, herbs and butter, with some more olive oil and put it back in the oven.

When the cauliflower is brown on one side, turn it and add the wine, tomatoes and garlic, and cook it for another 30 minutes or so, keeping an eye on the tomatoes so they don't burn just soften.  Almost all of the wine should have reduced leaving just enough to sauce the meal.

Serve onto warm plates with some quinoa.

Bon Appetit!  Chef Hobbes
