Answer 3

There are a multitude of dishes that you can make. I would suggest not making any sort of pasta dish as pasta is predomintely Italian and is most definitely not included in any french cuisine I have ever eaten.

Here is a very traditional and simple recipe called Coq au Vin. Give it a go. The red wine can be substituted for white its up to you. Remember that when wine is boiled all alcohol is removed and you are left with just the flavour of it. It can be made the same day but allow for the cooking time as you want the meat to ultimately fall off of the bone.

Region Prep time / Cooking time

Burgundy

A day before + 30 min / 1 hour



Ingredients

Ideally a rooster, or 1 or 2 chickens (1.5kg, 3.5 lb), cut into 8 pieces or more

1/2 bottle of full-body Burgundy red wine (or Cotes du Rhone)

6 bacon slices (5 oz), diced

0.5 lb (250g) button mushrooms

A dozen small white onions

2-3 cloves of garlic, mashed

2 carrots, peeled and quartered

Sunflower oil, unsalted butter

Bouquet of herbs: 2 sprigs of thyme and 1 bay leaf, tied all together with string

Parsley

Salt and pepper

If cooking the same day, add:

1/4 cup of cognac or brandy

Buy ingredients at the grocery and gourmet store

  



Coq au Vin Recipe (serve 6)

Step 1: A day in advance, clean and cut the rooster/chicken in 8 pieces or more. Pour half a bottle of red Burgundy wine over.

Step 2: Add the small white onions, the quartered peeled carrots and the herbs. Cover and put in the fridge.

Step 3: The next day, remove and drain the chicken and vegetables. Put the wine aside for later use.

Step 4: Brown the chicken pieces with oil in a skillet. Remove the chicken. Using the same skillet, add garlic to the vegetables and heat for a couple of minutes

Step 5: Put the chicken and the vegetables in a large sauce pan. Pour the wine and add salt and pepper

Step 6: Bring to a boil at moderate heat.

Step 7: Cover and cook at low heat for 1 or 2 hours

Step 8: Heat bacon, onion and mushrooms in a skillet until brown (10 minutes)

Step 9: When the chicken is ready, add bacon, onion and mushrooms in the pan, cook and stir for 2 or 3 minutes. Taste and correct the seasoning,

Step 10: Add parsley to the chicken when finish. Prepare rice or potatoes to serve with Coq au vin.

Alternate version for cooking the same day:

In step 5, do not pour the wine in the pan now. Pour instead cognac or brandy over the chicken. Ignite the spirit with a match. Be extra careful the heat is off and your face away. Shake the pan for a few seconds. You can now pour the wine in the pan and follow the recipe as indicated.

Wine suggestion: red Burgundy wine, or Cotes du Rhone red, Morgon (French Wine Guide).

Bon appetit!
