Step by step

  1. Season the coq au vin generously and let it sit while you prep the aromatics.
  2. Build the base: cook the onion, garlic and spices until soft and fragrant.
  3. Add the coq au vin and cook it through, letting it take on color and soak up the seasoning.
  4. Rest briefly, adjust the salt and acid, and finish with fresh herbs before serving.
