There are many versions of this classic chicken stew nowadays. It’s thought to have been created by a chef to celebrate Napoleon’s victory at Marengo!
For us it’s always been a staple dish, so we’d thought we’d share a recipe we have created with our chef/photographer buddy JP!

2 onion diced
2 cloves of garlic finely diced
1 tin of chopped tomato pulp (in season, 0.75 kg of fresh peeled tomatoes and chopped)
1 tsp of tomato paste
1 tablespoon of flour
2 strip of orange zest

50 ml of Brandy or Whisky
250 ml of dry white wine
2 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley
200 d button mushrooms sliced finely
25g of butter (or 2 Tsp of cooking oil)
Salt and pepper to your taste
