Part 4/7:
Crucial to the development of deep flavors is the technique of roasting the tomato puree before incorporating it into the mix. This step transforms the acidity into sweetness, resulting in a well-rounded sauce. Whole olives and capers introduce a delightful briny element, contrasting perfectly with the chicken's richness.
The chicken is then returned to the pan, submerging it in the sauce, ready for a gentle oven finish. This process unlocks more flavors as the dish transforms into a comforting stew-like consistency.
