Preparation
Step 1
Start by pealing and parboiling your potatoes. Once these have had 7 minutes or so, toss them in some butter, a table spoon of freshly chopped rosemary and place them in the centre of a pre-heated oven to roast at 200°C for 30 minutes. You want the potatoes to be roasted, but not too crispy on the outside, this way they soak up more of that delicious red wine sauce.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat a little oil in a pan or casserole dish; brown the chicken thighs all over. Then add the shallots, garlic and rosemary, cook this for a further 5 minutes until the onions have softened.
Step 3
Add the anchovies, capers and Pancetta fry for a further 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, red wine and green beans before bringing to the boil. Cook for 30 minutes.
Step 4
Add a sprinkling of parmesan to your roasties 10 minutes before they are cooked. Season the casserole with freshly ground black pepper and serve with the potatoes. I wouldn't suggest adding salt as the anchovies and Pancetta will be salty enough.
