  3. Mix the garlic, turmeric and olive oil in a bowl with two teaspoons of salt and a good grind of black pepper.

  4. Rub three-quarters of this mixture all over the chicken and under the skin.

  5. Scatter the beans, oregano and shallots around the chicken and nestle the cinnamon among them.

  7. Generously crack over some black pepper and add the lemon halves to the tray.

  8. Place in the oven and roast for one hour, until the beans have burst and are crispy in places.

  11. For the potatoes, place the potatoes with half of the thyme and three garlic cloves in a saucepan and cover with plenty of well salted water.
