Julia ChildвЂ™s Coq au Vin Recipe (Chicken in Red Wine With Onions, Mushrooms, and Bacon)ДЈ cups young, full-bodied red wine such as Burgundy, Beaujolais, Cotes du Rhone, or ChiantiДЎ-2 cups brown chicken stock, brown stock, or canned beef bouillonДў tablespoons softened butter Instructions: Child advised вЂњa young, full-bodied red Burgundy, Beaujolais, or Cotes du RhoneвЂќ to accompany the dish and, well, who are we to disagree? As Child observes in her original head notes, the dish вЂњis made with either white or red wine, but red is more characteristic.вЂќ Traditionally accompanied by parsley potatoes, it is here served with potatoes and peas, the latter of which lend a pop of color to the dishвЂ™s rather earth-toned palette.
