Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Mix the marinade. In a large bowl add the tomato puree, honey, Baharat spice blend, grated garlic, chilli flakes (if using), salt, lime juice and the olive oil. Mix well to form a paste and add the chicken thighs. You could do this a day in advance if you have time.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan. Place a medium-size saucepan onto the stove, fill with water and bring to a boil with a large pinch of salt. Add the halved potatoes and parboil for 8 minutes before draining.
Step 3
In a baking tray place the shallots (which should be cut into 1/4's lengthways through the root) along with the parboiled potatoes and the marinated chicken thighs. Mix all the ingredients together well to make sure everything is coated in the chicken marinade. Even out all the ingredients so nothing is piled on top of anything else and place the whole tray into the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes until the potatoes are crispy and the chicken is cooked through.
Step 4
Remove the tray from the oven and allow the chicken to rest while you boil the green beans in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes. Drain the beans and serve alongside this tasty tray bake.
