Coq Au Vin Accompanied By Green Salad
The perfect coq au vin accompanied by green salad recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.
For the salad:
- 200 g Bacon cubes
- 3 piece Red onions
- 4 piece Bay leaves
- 2 piece Carrots
- 4 piece Celery
- 200 g Mushrooms
- 5 piece Garlic cloves
- 750 Milliliters Red wine
- 200 Milliliters Broth
- 500 g Pasta
- Sprigs of thyme
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- 1 piece Lettuce
- 5 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 5 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 piece Shallot
- Salt
- Wash the carrots and celery and cut into 3-5 millimeter thick slices. Set aside and peel and quarter the onions. Also remove the garlic cloves from the skin and roughly chop them. Wash the chicken and pat dry well with kitchen paper. Then salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a very large (preferably cast iron) saucepan, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil and fry the diced bacon in it. Before they get crispy, get them out of the fat and set aside. Fry 3 – 4 pieces of the chicken so that it browns. Fetch, set aside and fry the next layer. Repeat this until all of the meat is seared.
- Sauté the onions on the brown crust that has now formed in the pot until they are translucent. Put the stove on medium heat and add the cloves of garlic, bay leaves and thyme. Now stir-fry for about 3 minutes. Add the vegetables, bacon and mushrooms and place the chicken on top. Then deglaze everything with the red wine.
- Add the broth and then slowly simmer on low heat for at least 2 – 3 hours. Be careful with stirring or moving the contents in the pot, as at some point the meat will become so tender that it will crumble if it comes into contact with any cookware. Finally, season with salt and pepper.
The salad
- Tear the lettuce leaves into small pieces, wash and spin dry. Mix a vinaigrette with the vinegar, oil, mustard and honey. Finely chop the shallot and stir in. Season with salt and pepper and add to the salad just before serving.
- Cook the pasta according to the packaging instructions and serve with the Coq au Vin and a good glass of red wine. Serve the salad separately. Instead of pasta, you can enjoy the Coq au Vin with basmati rice, potatoes or even just with fresh baguette.
