Chicken & Morels



There are some extraordinarily small morels peaking up in nearby woods. We thought this would be a good way to stretch the few we found:

—Slowly reduced thick local jersey cream with the morels, thyme, and garlic
—Reduced chicken stock and a rusty white port from Quinta do Infantado to approximate the classic Vin Jaune, which we didn't have in the cellar.
—Gently pan roasted the breasts of one of our chickens in homemade butter and threw it into a low oven to finish
—Combined the stock / wine mixture and the reduced cream and balanced with a spritz of lemon
—Served on garlicky green beans from the garden
