To make Auge Valley Chicken Stew you will need
Ingredients
| 1 | large | Chicken, quartered | | 2 | | Carrots, peeled and diced | | 1 | | Shallot, sliced | | 4 | | Pippin apples** | | 1 | pound | White mushrooms, washed and minced | | 1/2 | cups | Butter | | 1/4 | cups | Oil | | 2 | | Onions - one sliced, one studded with cloves | | 1 | cup | Dry white wine | | 1 | | Clove garlic | | | Thyme leaves | | | Bay leaves | | | Salt and fresh ground black pepper | | 1 | cup | Creme fraiche or whipping cream** | | 1 | | Shot glass (1 Tablespoon) Calvados** | | 3 | | Egg yolks |
Instructions
In a cast iron casserole, lightly brown the chicken in
half the butter and 2 Tablespoons oil. When all the pieces are nice and
golden. add the carrots, shallots and the sliced onion and cook for a few
minutes. Pour the white wine and 1 cup of water over the chicken, then add
the clove studded onion and the garlic. Add some thyme leaves and bay
leaves and season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer over low heat for
40 minutes. (While this was cooking the 40 minutes, I peeled and minced the
mushrooms - I know everyone tells me there is no need to peel the
mushrooms, but I always do <g>) Remove the chicken from the heat, arrange
the pieces of chicken in an ovenproof serving dish and keep warm. Pass the
cooking liquid through a sieve. Set the vegetables aside and keep warm.
Meanwhile melt the remaining butter in a skillet with the oil, add the
apples and cook until just lightly brown on all sides. Remove the apples
from the skillet and arrange them around the chicken. Keep the dish warm in
the oven. Saute the mushrooms until they have lost all their juices. Set
aside to add to the sauce. To make the sauce: Pour the strained cooking
liquid into a saucepan and set over medium heat. With a whisk, beat in the
cream, the calvados and the egg yolks in that order. Simmer in a double
boiler until it has thickened to a light cream. Stir in the mushrooms and
the vegetables, discarding the clove-studded onion. Adjust seasoning.
Remove the dish from the oven, spoon some of the sauce over the chicken and
pour the remaining sauce into a sauceboat and serve.
