Coq au Vin

Cultural Context

Coq au Vin is a traditional French dish that dates back to ancient times, often associated with rural cooking. It showcases the French culinary technique of braising, where meat is cooked slowly in liquid, allowing flavors to meld beautifully. The dish is typically made with rooster, but chicken is commonly used today. It reflects the French love for wine and hearty, rustic meals, often enjoyed during family gatherings or special occasions.

Prepare a marinade with thyme, rosemary, and a bay leaf, and add 2 cloves of garlic.

3

Slice 3 onions and add them to the marinade.

4

Add carrots to the marinade, adjusting the amount based on preference.

5

Add 2 tablespoons of herbes de Provence and a bit of salt and pepper to the marinade.

6

Cover the chicken pieces with red wine (about 1 liter) and ensure they are well submerged.

7

Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2-3 days to marinate.

8

After marinating, remove the chicken and let it drain in a colander, keeping the marinade aside.

9

Heat some olive oil in a pan and sauté the chicken pieces until they take on color from the marinade.

10

In a separate pot or Thermomix, sauté the vegetables from the marinade until softened.

11

Pour the reserved marinade into the pot with the sautéed vegetables and bring to a simmer for about 15 minutes.

12

Flame the chicken with a bit of neutral alcohol like cognac for added flavor.

13

Once the marinade is cooked, blend the vegetables until smooth.

14

Add sliced mushrooms (about 10-12, depending on size) to the chicken in the pan and stir to combine.
