Mums Coq au Vin

Mums Coq au Vin is a memory of good times. The aroma fills the house with such a welcome whilst the flavour and texture is perfect. Served as a main dish on a bed of rice for a filling meal. There will be a queue asking for more of this lovely French dish. I use shallots and garlic for additional body with a hit of red wine and chicken stock creating a sauce that is hard to beat. Also, I have made this casserole in advance and reheated it later in the day.
