10Coq au Vin
One of France’s most beloved dishes, Coq au Vin (chicken in wine) is a hearty stew made with chicken, red wine (usually Burgundy), mushrooms, onions, and lardons (small pieces of bacon). The dish is simmered for hours until the chicken becomes tender and the flavors meld together. Originating in the Burgundy region, Coq au Vin is an example of rustic French cooking that elevates simple ingredients with slow-cooking techniques.
Best Paired With: A glass of red Burgundy wine to enhance the flavors of the dish.
