Salut mes amis!!! Aujourd'hui nous allons... Talk a little french because today's recipe comes from France! This coq au vin recipe is one of my favorites and is usually the one of the first dishes that comes to mind when cooking for a friend or special someone for the first time. Ask a number of my lady friends or my boyfriend what I made the first time I cooked for them, 100$ goes to it being this dish. Side note: I also remember a funny story involving kaffir leaves, basil and bay leaves... let's just say one is not like the other and now my boyfriend will always have the little green leaves emoji next to his name in my phone, even almost two years after the fact (hehe)! However, back to the coq au vin :) This recipe is ideal for entertaining because it can simmer away as you mingle with your guests, or can be made ahead and heated in the oven. My favourite side is some roasted potatoes with heirloom carrots - I find that the potatoes are great for soaking up any remaining sauce on your plate! Also, I sometimes omit the mushrooms because to be frank they are not a favourite of mine - however leaving them in while cooking doesn't add mushroom flavour to the sauce, making it great for mushroom-haters like me and gives you flexibility serving your guests! Happy Cooking et Bon Appétit! :) Coq au Vin Adapted from CanadianLiving.com Servings: 8 Ingredients:
Directions:
Notes: If the sauce doesn’t thicken and the chicken is cooked through, mix 1 tbsp. of cornstarch with a bit of water and add to the pan while stirring – this should quicken the thickening process so that the chicken doesn’t dry out by cooking too long. This recipe is great to make ahead! Once cooked, transfer to a glass casserole dish and let cool. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days and reheat in the oven at 350F for about 30 minutes. I like to serve my coq au vin with roasted potatoes and heirloom carrots.
