Coq au vin is a French stew made with chicken, wine, bacon, and vegetables.[1]

The name means "rooster in wine" in French.[2] The first book to mention coq au vin was Cookery for English Households, a cookbook from 1864. It existed for a long time before this, but most stories about the invention of coq au vin are myths.[3]

Ingredients

[change | change source]

Coq au vin is made by cooking onions and garlic in butter in a pot. Pieces of chicken, bacon and mushrooms are then added to the pot. Once the meat has cooked, wine is poured in to make a broth. The stew is simmered in the pot until it is ready to eat.[4] Most recipes use red wine, but in some parts of France they use other types of wine.[2]
