My quest begins ! This one is from Julia Child “mastering the art of french cooking” – page 258. I’m not sure why I chose this as a starting place – but it definitely sounded great. This recipe was a bit onerous… ( hmm… is it going to make the simple test?). But I pressed on anyway.
It was indeed a bit complicated. Simple in it’s essence – sautee mushroooms, carrots, celery and then chicken. Add flour to the chicken, and simmer in white wine sauce with flour. Then separately braise mushrooms and pearl onions, and then add cream and eggs to the sauce. Lots of moving parts !
It was quite good – not quite a ‘great’ however, although there’s a lot of potential. I think there’s a lot of opportunity to simplify and streamline, so with some work it could be a great. I served this with a coconut cake for desert – which got raves. Definitely a great on the desert here…
Obviously my quest isn’t done – but did I really think it would be that simple ?
