Roasted Chicken Thighs/Tofu With Cauliflower and Herby Yogurt

Serves 6

Ingredients

1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp smoked paprika
0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
3 tbsp olive oil
1 taste salt
1 taste black pepper
2 lb chicken thighs
1 head cauliflower
3 unit shallots
1.25 cup greek yogurt
2 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic, finely grated
1 lb tofu

Directions

Heat oven to 425 degrees and set a rack in the center.

In a large bowl, whisk together the coriander, paprika and pepper flakes with 1/3 the oil and a big pinch of salt and pepper.

Coat the chicken in 2/3 of the oil/spice mix. Arrange the chicken, skin-side up, on a large baking sheet.

Coat the tofu in the remaining oil/spice mix, arrange on a baking sheet.

Add the cauliflower, shallots, remaining 2/3 oil, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper to a bowl. Toss to coat, then arrange the vegetables in a single layer on a sheet pan.

Bake until the chicken is deep golden brown and cooked through, the tofu has browned around the edges, and the cauliflower is browned (~40 minutes). Toss the vegetables and tofu once or twice as they cook.

While the chicken/tofu/veg bakes, prepare the yogurt sauce: Whisk the yogurt, mint, cilantro, lemon juice and grated garlic with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

Transfer the chicken/tofu/vegetables to a platter and top with a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve with a swoop of yogurt on the side, and fresh cilantro, if desired.
