Recipe
Cooking the vegetables:
- Wash and peel all the vegetables.
- Chop each one in four.
- Prepare the bouquet garni.
- Place all the vegetables in the chicken stock with the bouquet garni, cloves and cooking salt.
Preparing the pot-au-feu:
- Cut each confit chicken thigh in two.
- While the vegetables are still slightly firm, add the chicken thighs and a spoonful of duck fat (taken from the packet).
- Gently simmer until cooked.
To serve:
- Divide the confit chicken thighs between the plates together with the vegetables and sprinkle with a little cooking juice.
The fattened hen is given a modern twist with this style of cooking. Already confit, it will pep up a stock with vegetables for great memories of traditional chicken stew. Serve in a soup plate with a little stock and some vegetables.
