Coq au Vin Extraordinaire

Filed under: Recipes — Artflux at 6:55 pm on Wednesday, October 25, 2006

One of my flavorful favorites that is extraordinary and you can have some of the wine as well while cooking. It’s better if you get a young chicken. If you have an old one it will be a little tougher.

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons of butter or olive oil
Whole chicken
¼ lb minced salt pork
½ cup onions
½ cup white onions
1 sliced carrot
3 minced shallots
1 pealed garlic clove
2 tbs flower
2 tbs parsley
1 tbs marjoram
1 bay leaf
½ tspn thyme
1 tspn salt
pepper
brandy
1 ½ sherry or red wine

In a large pot put heat oil or butter. Add salt pork, onions, shallots carrot and garlic clove. Push veggies aside and brown the chicken in the fat. Add the flower, parsley, marjoram, bay leaf, thyme, salt, pepper and brandy.

Stir in 1 ½ cups of the wine or sherry. Simmer for about 1 hour covered.

Add the sauce and veggies over it before serving.
