Coq au Vin

{ Making my bouquet garni }

Sometimes I feel like making an intricate recipe that requires hours in the kitchen. I get lost in the ingredients and the steps until the only thing that matters is that perfect bite at the end. Other days I'll be frank......I'm tired. And although this lethargy means I don't feel like making puff pastry from scratch, it doesn't mean I don't want something wonderful to eat. I came across this recipe for Coq au Vin (a la crock-pot) a few months ago and I've made it several times since. Egg noodles and a frisee salad round out this easy meal which is perfect for a chilly evening. I hope you'll give it a try soon.
