A Classic French Recipe: Coq au Vin
SUMMARY: Classic recipes often stem from necessity, such as the staple diet of rice and beans found in many poor countries. Dishes like gumbo and jambalaya utilize local, affordable ingredients. A prime example is coq au vin, made from an old rooster and slowly braised in red wine with bacon, mushrooms, and pearl onions. Key to this dish are herbs like bay leaf and thyme, while quality ingredients and technique greatly enhance flavor. It’s essential to take your time during cooking, perhaps enjoying a glass of wine in the process. Serving with ample sauce is crucial for a delightful dining experience.
