Coq au Vin

This is the slow cooker version of the French classic. Coq au Vin has been around for decades if not longer and will continue to thrive. The deepness of the sauce with the bacon and red wine makes this instantly recognisable. Also, as the slow cooker is used, I have added a dozen small new potatoes to the mix for a full meal in a single dish. This will fill your house with a rich aroma, your mouth with a memorable flavours and your stomach with heaven. However, just remember that this main dish is easy to cook and “same time tomorrow?”

Coq au Vin

It takes it time to cook but is so worth the wait. The smell fills the home and the taste makes it a family favourite.
