COQ AU VIN I

Chicken in a wine sauce

This is a very nice, simple chicken dish.

Ingredients

(Serves 2-3)

2 lbs chicken pieces
1-2 garlic cloves, chopped or pressed
1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 medium carrot, sliced
1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 cups dry red wine (young Burgundy, California Zinfandel, Australian Shiraz, etc...)
2 Tbsp cooking oil
flour
salt and pepper (to taste)

Procedure

Start by heating the oil in a frying pan. Brown the chopped onion and garlic for a few minutes.
Take the chicken pieces and brown them with the onion and garlic mixture. Brown the pieces evenly, turning often. This should take about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle a little flour over the chicken. Add salt and pepper if desired.
Add the wine and remaining ingredients. Reduce heat and simmer covered for 1 hour.

Notes

This dish is best served over rice. Check the amount of wine in the pan every so often. Add a little more if needed.
