• Add the tomato, capers, olives and wine to the pan, season to taste, then bring to the boil. Bubble the sauce for 2-3 mins until the tomatoes are starting to break down, then spoon over the chicken and scatter with chopped herbs. Delicious with steamed potatoes.

CHICKEN WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Lay the chicken between two pieces of waxed paper and flatten each cutlet with the flat end of a mallet until thin.
• Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet until hot. While the oil is heating, season the chicken with salt and pepper and dredge it in flour.
• Sauté the chicken over high heat, about 3 minutes on each side. Remove to a warm platter and keep warm.
• Quickly add the chicken broth to the pan and stir with a wooden spoon to release any caramelized bits that may be stuck to the pan.
• Add the tomatoes and cook until the broth has reduced by half. Add the lemon juice and capers.
• Pour the sauce over the chicken, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

BRAISED CHICKEN WITH TOMATOES, OLIVES AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Put the oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add the chicken, skin side down. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook undisturbed, adjusting the heat so the chicken doesn't burn, until the pieces are browned on the bottom and release easily from the skillet, 5 to 10 minutes. Continue cooking, turning the chicken every few minutes, until it's brown all over, 5 to 10 minutes more. Remove the chicken from the pan and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat.
• Add the onions and capers and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and tomatoes; cook until the mixture starts to bubble and the tomatoes thicken slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the wine and let the mixture bubble for another 2 minutes.
• Add the olives and thyme, and return the chicken to the skillet, nestling the pieces into the sauce. Adjust the heat so the liquid bubbles gently but steadily, then cover the skillet. Cook, turning the chicken every 10 minutes or so and adding a splash of stock or water if the sauce looks too dry, until the chicken is tender and cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read 155 to 165). Taste the sauce, and adjust the seasoning. Garnish with the parsley, and serve.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH TOMATO, CHILLI AND CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celcius.
• Place the chicken pieces on a roasting tray with a rack, skin side up. Rub the skin with a little salt.
• Roast for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked and the skin is fairly crispy.
• Meanwhile, warm the garlic and onion in the oil until fragrant. Add the chilli and capers and stir for a minute or two. Add all remaining ingredients except herbs, and lower heat. Leave to simmer while the chicken continues to cook, which will probably be about twenty minutes. It will start to thicken and become more full bodied in flavour.
• Place the chicken on a serving plate and pour the sauce over the top. Scatter with the fresh herbs and serve.

PORK SCHNITZEL WITH TOMATO & CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Season the pork all over. Mix the crumbs, cheese and sage on a plate. Pour the egg onto another plate and mix in some salt and pepper. Dip the escalopes first in the egg, then into the crumbs, pressing them on to coat evenly. They can be chilled for up to 24 hrs at this stage.
• Pour boiling water over the tomatoes, leave for 1 min, then drain and peel. Quarter, scoop out and discard the seeds, then chop the flesh. Put the tomatoes into a small pan with 1 tbsp of the oil, salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 2-3 mins. Throw in the capers and keep warm.
• Heat 2 tbsp oil in a small pan, throw in the sage leaves and fry until they start to crisp, 1-2 mins, then scoop out and drain on kitchen paper. Heat remaining 2 tbsp of oil in a frying pan, add pork and fry until browned (lift up a corner with tongs to check). Flip over and cook for 3-4 mins until done. Scatter with sage leaves, and serve with lemon wedges and the tomato sauce on the side.

CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a heavy 8 to 10-inch skillet, melt the butter over moderate heat. When the foam begins to subside, stir in the flour and mix thoroughly. Pour in the stock and, stirring constantly with a whisk, cook over high heat until the sauce thickens and comes to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for about 3 minutes to remove any taste of raw flour. Then stir in the capers, vinegar, salt and a few grindings of pepper. Taste for seasoning and serve hot from a small bowl or a sauceboat.
