![]() ![]() Who would have thought that something that sounds as fancy as Coq au Vin would be so easy? I cooked my Dairy-Free Garlic Mashed Potatoes as a side dish, and let me tell you, it was a good choice! Let this cook for another 10 minutes or so and it’s done! Just mix the flour and butter with a fork until it’s completely blended, and then add to the pot along with about 10 ounces of frozen pearl onions and sauteed mushrooms. When the chicken was done, I added a mixture of dairy-free butter and Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free flour to thicken the broth. Meanwhile, in a skillet, I sauteed my mushrooms in a little butter until they were golden-brown, about 10 minutes. Next I put a lid on my Dutch oven and put it in the oven that was preheated to 250✯ and let it simmer for 30 minutes. Also, you don’t have to use Brandy, but I had it on hand so I figured “why not?” Then I added 1/4 cup of brandy, 1 cup of chicken stock, a litte more than 1/2 a bottle Pinot Noir to the pot, and put the chicken and bacon back in the pot along with some fresh thyme (don’t even have to take it off the stem). Next I added my garlic and cooked it for about 1 minute. When the chicken is all browned, I set them aside on a platter so I could cook my carrots and onion with salt and pepper for about 10 minutes. I browned the chicken in batches so they could brown nicely and not steam. Next I patted my chicken dry with a paper towel, seasoned it with salt and pepper, and then browned my chicken on both sides in my dutch oven. Once my prep work was done, I cooked my bacon with some olive oil in a large dutch oven over medium heat until it was crisp, then removed it and set it aside. I started my dinner prep with cutting up my bacon, carrots, onion, and mushrooms. It definitely wasn’t too strong - it was awesome! Everything turned out great, and my guests were quite happy! Until now, I was too scared to cook chicken in red wine thinking it’d be too strong. Red wine is not something I enjoy drinking, but I have plenty of experience cooking beef with it. I decided to use more carrots and mushrooms than Ina did, and I’m glad because they are so good! I based my recipe off of Ina Garten’s recipe for Coq au Vin - a delightful combination of Pinot Noir, brandy, chicken, carrots, mushrooms, and pearl onions. Now that sounds like something perfect to feed my guests! ![]() Looking through my Pinterest for inspiration, I came across Coq au Vin, which is basically chicken that has been cooked in wine. ![]() Rock had spent the last work week traveling, so I wanted to prepare a really nice home-cooked meal. David and I had our friends, Katharine and Rock, over for dinner the other night. ![]()
