It keeps well for 2–3 days in the fridge. It can also be frozen for up to 1 month, but it may need to be blitzed with a hand blender when reheating, as it may split.

  • Coq Au Vin Recipe
    Coq Au Vin Recipe Coq Au Vin Recipe Coq au vin, or chicken in wine, is a lovely, comforting dish for fall. Once the initial prep work is completed, this dish is mostly hands off, left to gently simmer on the stove top. As with most braises and stews, this recipe is a guideline, easily adapted to your own taste. There are as many versions of coq au vin as there are people who’ve made it — follow the basic method and trust your instincts. Each ingredient is meant to increase the depth of flavor, so adjust the ingredients to your own palate. I’m not a fan of pearl onions, for instance, so I used a combination of leeks, shallots and onions. Feel free to use the more traditional pearl onion in your dish if that is your preference. Be mindful to use a wine that you would want to drink from a glass — it will be the underlying flavor of the dish.I like Côtes du Rhone or Pinot Noir. This is a great dish if you don’t like last minute fussing before company comes. Make it the day before and let the flavors mellow and improve. Gently reheat on the stove top before serving. Coq au vin is delicious with roasted potatoes or over egg noodles. Time: 1 1/2 hours Ingredients: 1/2 cup bacon, cut into 1/2 inch slices 3 – 4 pounds chicken (legs or a whole, separated chicken with bones) 1/4 cup Brandy or Cognac 1 cup diced onion (or peeled pearl onions or shallots, leeks or white onion) 4 garlic cloves, smashed 2 carrots, sliced into 1/2 inch pieces 1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced (white button or cremini are nice) or 1/4 dried wild mushrooms (submerge in boiling water to rehydrate, after 15 minutes, drain and coarsely chop) 1 Tbs tomato paste 2 Tbs flour 1 bay leaf 1 tsp Herbes de Provence 1 1/2 cups red wine 1 cup, approximately, chicken stock (or vegetable stock or water) Kosher salt and pepper to taste Method: 1.
