With great pleasure, really.Judge wrote:Ok, I had a defrosted chicken in the fridge and was going to go Texas BBQ on it but found this thread. I don't know what the "traditional" receipe is but I found enough to make a go of it. I spent close attention to the "crisp and golden skin" Etienne mentioned. I used flour and paprika to coat the chicken in when browning it. Some instructions don't use flour but most do. I was also conflicted on the use of tomato but most had it. So I used it.
It seemed like a dish best served over rice so I did that. If that breaks some rule I'll live with it.
My family loved it so I am taking the bold step to say I've cooked a French meal and was successful (finding the correct crusty bread was difficult but I did it). I don't know if my interpretation would count as traditional "french" but I'm going to take success where I can find it.
This dish is on the list, I can easily replicate it (or change it) so my thanks to our Franco representative.

Re: Let's cook, soused or not.
Okay, an other recipe, this one is seriously drunkard oriented: there are tons of recipes for boeuf bourguignon, but here's mine (easy).
Take two bottles of 4 euros wine, preferably above 11%
Take lots of cheap beef, the chewy/slightly greasy/hard but tasty kind. Cut it in big chunks.
Chop up lots of onions and carrots, chop up a bit of scalon.
Half a reasonable amount of white mushrooms (remove the dirty part of the stem)
Warm up a bit of vegetable oil mixed with a bit of butter in a cocotte or seriously deep pan.
Spread flour on all sides of the beef chunks, throw them in the cocotte and don't burn yourself.
Turn around the chunks for two or free minutes, add up all the chopped up stuff and mushrooms.
Two minutes later, pour one of the bottles of wine in the cocotte, first let boil, then reduce the fire so that it's only slow slow cooking.
Add a glass of water and rosemary, salt, pepper (generously for salt and pepper).
Put a pierced lid on the cocotte.
Now open the second bottle of wine and drink it for the next forty five minutes while it's cooking slowly. Post on a forum to entertain yourself.
Remove the lid, let it very slow cook for an other hour minimum.
The beef has to become tender. Once it's tender, add cream, let it reduce for an additional twenty minutes.
Curse yourself for not having bought a third bottle of wine, remember you have plenty in the cellar, cut the fire, go get an other bottle, open it, get your boeuf bourguignon with a huge spoon, serve with boiled potatoes as sidedish.
Voilà!

I'd rather have "boeuf Bougainville", but getting missionary meat is a hassle.

Re: Let's cook, soused or not.
I'm working on this as we speak. I noticed there were some typos in the recipe or maybe they were just translational errors. Boozo wrote "vegetable oil" but I believe the phrase he was looking for was "rendered bacon grease". He also wrote "carrots" but I'm sure he meant "not carrots" Because carrots are fucking evil. I also have too much Italian blood in my veins not to include garlic. So I did. Pics later.
Be safe everyone.

I've got a rump roast soaking in red wine, black pepper, hungarian paprika and garlic. In a few hours I'll put that sucker in the oven with (moar) wine, some garlic, thyme, marjoram, potatoes and onions. She'll cook at 325°F for 4-5 hours. That's how I roll.
