This dish is somewhat thrown together and makes the most of leftover vegetables from the bottom of the fridge with the addition of some quince, one of my Autumn favourites. Roasted, drizzled with vino cotto, and of course a flourish of extra virgin olive oil and served with my favourite cut of chicken. Delicious!

5. Meanwhile, melt butter in a small frying pan and add a dash of extra virgin olive oil to stop the butter from burning.

8. Cook on gentle heat until golden brown and then turn to brown the other side.
9. Place on an oven-safe plate or dish and cook for 10 minutes at 200°C.
10. Once veggies are roasted, remove from oven and drizzle all over with vino cotto, add the celery and cook for a further 10 minutes.
11. When the chicken thighs are cooked, remove them from the oven and drizzle with verjuice, and allow them to rest for 10 minutes.
12. Once veggies are finished, place them into a serving dish and garnish with mint or flat-leaf parsley.
13. Place the chicken and juice on top and serve.
