Method

  1. Heat the oil in a wide pan and brown the thighs on all sides, 6–7 minutes.

  2. Add the sliced garlic, stir for half a minute, then pour in the lemon juice and water and add the oregano, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, uncovering at the end so the sauce reduces.

  3. Meanwhile, boil the cauliflower in salted water for 12–15 minutes, until it crushes easily with a fork. Drain it very well and leave it in the colander for two minutes to steam dry.

  4. Blend the cauliflower with the butter using a food processor or stick blender until smooth. Serve the chicken on the mash with the sauce spooned over.
