Jan. 23rd, 2012 11:56 pmI made coq au vin this weekend and it was delicious.
I tweaked it for my taste so I left out the pearl onions and upped the amount of mushrooms. I also added carrots, parsnips and green beans. The recipe called for thyme but I threw in some rosemary too. I also used all chicken thighs which I love in this kind of preparation because you can cook the hell out of them and they are still moist and juicy.
It's a weekend long affair because you have to let the chicken sit in a red wine, mirepoix and herb mixture for 2 days.
I filled 5 plastic containers and now I'm all set with lunch for the week. Did I mention it was delicious?
The next time I make this I'm going to see if I can get a tough old bird, they're the most flavorful.
And did I mention it was delicious? :D
