Simple Coq au Vin
1 hour
This is my simple version of Coq au Vin, it is absolutely delicious and very simple to make, the longer you let it cook the better it gets. I use a tagine to cook this how ever it also works in a casserole dish or a heavy saucepan with lid. You can also add what ever vegetables you like it tastes great if you put a handful of beans about 5 minutes before you serve it they go soggy if you put them in too early. I always serve mine with penne pasta as well.

- Heat the pan and fry the garlic and olive oil till fragrant.
- Add the onions cook till translucent but not brown, add the bacon then brown the chicken in the same pan.
- Add the rest of the vegetables and herbs cook till the vegetables soften
- Add the whole bottle of wine and bring to the boil for 2-3 minutes place the lid on the pan (I always use a tagine but a saucepan or casserole dish works just as well) and reduce to simmer on a low heat for at least 45 minutes until it no longer tastes 'winey' and it has thickened. The longer you cook it the better it tastes :)
- Enjoy!!
