Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 roma tomatoes
1/2 medium onion -- cut in half
1/3 habanero chili pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
8 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
3/4 teaspoon sea salt -- divided
Freshly ground pepper
1 cup toasted pumpkin seeds
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon capers
1 cup chicken stock

In a dry, heavy skillet over medium-high heat, roast the tomatoes, onion
and chili pepper, turning to cook evenly, about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet heat the oil over medium-high heat; season
the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Cook, 5 minutes.
Turn; cook until cooked through, about 15 minutes.

Grind the pumpkin seeds in a blender with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt;
transfer to a bowl. Pureé the roasted vegetables, cilantro and capers,
adding the stock as needed for a smooth consistency; return the ground
pumpkin seeds to the blender. Add remaining stock; process until smooth.
(You might have to stop to scrape down the inside of the blender.) Serve
the sauce over the chicken, with sides of steamed vegetables and rice, if
you like.
