INGREDIENTS:


large slice of french bread
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup or more shredded mozzarella
pinch parmesan (optional)
1 cup or more beef broth (or a can of french onion soup)
3 to 4 slices onions (any variety) diced up


DIRECTIONS:

You need to make a large Crouton. There are several ways to do this.You can toast it and then put a bit of Butter on both sides, OR Bake it in the oven with topped Butter, OR Fry it in a saute pan with a bit of Butter on both sides.
Make the Beef Broth with Bouillon. (you can also use already prepared Beef Stock from the store OR a can of French Onion Soup) Pour a bit into a bowl. Dice and slowly saute on low flame the Onions until very soft in 2 Tablespoons Butter, stirring constantly. You want a low flame, and to brown the Onions. (Adding a pinch of Sugar after a few minutes of Caramelizing will help them to brown) When they are softened, add a touch of Beef Broth and simmer for a few minutes more.



Taste and add water if too strong.
Put the Crouton in a bowl and top with some Mozzarella Cheese. You can microwave this until Cheese melts, or if using an Oven safe soup crock, bake until Cheese melts.



Heat up the Beef Broth till very hot, add the Onions, and then pour over Crouton in bowl. Top with more Cheese. Nuke to melt more if you want.


If you have an oven safe bowl, you can bake it till Cheese melts, and then put it under the broiler it for a min or two if you want the Cheese browned.



NOTE:You can use a variety of different Onions, Red, Yellow, White, Scallions, Shallots...in any mixture you may want.

COQ AU VIN Chicken in a Wine sauce with Vegetables

COQ AU VIN Chicken in a Wine sauce with vegetables RECIPE HERE


http://www.pinterest.com/pin/461759768015539629/



INGREDIENTS (2 servings)
2 Chicken Breasts
2-3 slices of Bacon
A good Cup of Chicken Broth
1/2 stick Butter, melted
4-5 large Mushrooms, sliced
1 Carrot, peeled and diced
Handful of Cherry Tomatoes, halved
6-8 Pearl Cocktail Onions- THE SECRET INGREDIENT
2-4 cloves Garlic, diced
2 Tablespoons Tomato Paste
Handful Flour
Shot of Brandy
Splash of Cooking Sherry
1/4 Cup dry Red Wine
2 servings Egg Noodles


 DIRECTIONS:
Fry Bacon, remove (reserve for another recipe or make a sandwich). You want to saute in the Bacon drippings. Use a metal spatula to scrape the pan as well.
Saute& the Chicken Breasts till browned. If it looks like it's getting too dry, add a small notch of Butter or a splash of Broth.
Flambe with a shot of Brandy.


Add the Veggies, Tomato Paste and Broth, continue to saute.
Add the Red Wine and stir. Remove the Chicken and keep warm.
You should be boiling your Egg Noodles in salted water by now.
Continue to saute the Veggies.


Make a Cold Roux by mixing melted Butter and Flour together to make a thick paste.


Add to Veggie saute and whisk. Add some Broth to this to thin out. Keep bubbly on LOW flame.
Add a splash of Sherry and stir.


Taste and add Salt and Pepper if you feel it's needed. Plate the Chicken and Noodles.


Pour Sauce over and serve.


NOTE:I believe that the secret ingredient here is the PEARL ONIONS. For such a small amount used, they certainly give this sauce a very distinct flavor. I am so convinced of this, that without the Pearl Onions, I would hesitate to make this sauce.
