Enjoy a classic stew of chicken and vegetables braised in red wine.

Ingredients

  • 12 pearl onions, peeled
  • 2 oz. bacon, small dice
  • 4 oz. button mushrooms, quartered
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) red wine
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 12 oz. chicken or one leg, one thigh and one half of a breast cut into 1" chunks
  • 6 ea. baby carrots, peeled and cut in half
  • 3 stalks celery, cut into 1" pieces
  • 2 sprigs thyme

Preparation

 Cut off the root end of each pearl onion then bring 2 cups of water to a boil and drop in the onions for 1 minute. Remove the onions from the pot, allow them to cool, and then peel; you should be able to slide the onions right out of their skin then reserve. In an 8-quart Dutch oven, saute diced bacon over medium heat until fat renders, then add mushrooms and onions. Continue to saute over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until mushrooms release their water. Add flour and continue to saute for another minute or two until flour is blonde, then add garlic and tomato paste, stir to incorporate, then deglaze with red wine.  Add chicken stock, chicken meat, celery, carrots and thyme, bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for an approximately an hour then serve over egg noodles.
