A Mexican-inspired alfresco meal: Thomasina Miers' creamy tomato toast and smoky spatchcock chicken recipes
Briefly

Jocoque, a Mexican fermented milk product, offers a creamy balance in dishes. Strained Greek yogurt is used to enhance tomato toasts served as a starter. A spatchcocked chicken, marinated in a smoky chipotle paste, follows as the main dish. The recipe includes a garlic and thyme oil that infuses flavor and uses achiote for color. The spatchocking technique allows for even cooking and deep marinade absorption, with lime wedges and soured cream suggested for serving to enhance the meal.
