Probably a veggie curry, given that all my meat is frozen and I've had junk for the past couple of days.
 
Coq au vin only a version with white wine.

Basically involves (in this case) a packet of corn fed chicken legs and thighs seasoned and seared in clarified butter (made that yesterday). Then you slow roast the chicken with half a bottle of white wine and pretty much the same again in chicken stock, and a bouquet garni of 3-2-1 parsely, thyme and bay along with plenty of garlic, a few whole peeled shallots, and some bacon lardons that have been fried in the chicken juices.

Then I add a blonde roux I made last week from the fridge (made with clarified butter and flour) to add a bit of velvety-ness and thicken if necessary.

Served with some peas and potatoes from the garden.
