    I made this dish recently and swooned over the flavor. My family loved it and has asked for it again. Takes a little bit of time to put together but worth all the steps. I made the sauce ahead of time to save a little effort and it was fabulous! Thankyou Stephane

    Lovely dish, such a good mix of flavour & texture. Morels are so often overlooked due to scarcity & cost, but the dried ones can be even better than fresh in some cases. As well as dirt & pine needles they are a favourite hiding place for earwigs/perce-oreille when fresh, drying them puts a stop to that.
    Many thanks.

    Stuffing the chicken with the mushrooms while baking is just an amazing idea. Would have never thought of that!
    Living in the US Pacific Northwest, I am spoiled with wild mushrooms of many varieties. Morels and Chanterelle are about my favorites, though! Well, maybe except for black truffle, but I don't have a dog or a pig, so I have to buy them like a normal person. 😪

    You can find reputable dealers of dried morels online at a fairly reasonable price. About 15 years ago, I got a hold of a mycology professor in Tennessee who was the only person to cultivate the authentic French black truffle in North America. $100 for a truffle the size of a golf ball. it was one of the most exquisite things to ever hit my palate. Morels are the way to go. My girlfriend and I eat them at least once a month.

    • @dietmarhelms8799

    • @lindainparis7349
      @lindainparis7349 Рік тому +1

      I think using another type of mushroom wouldn’t make the same dish but would make a delicious dish.

    • @jeanniebrooks
      @jeanniebrooks Рік тому

      If you can’t get morels, it would still be delicious with another choice. I would use cremini mushrooms myself- I think they have great flavor and texture (not dried, and adjust instructions as necessary for cooking with fresh creminis.) I think you could just sauté them and stuff the chicken with anything else that will infuse flavor and provide steamy moisture, like halved apple,onion, or lemon, plus maybe thyme or tarragon. But go ahead and stuff with mushrooms or a duxelles of mushrooms if you want. (I would consider it unnecessary, but you do you.)
      If you ever get a chance to have morels, they are delicious, (but not like truffles which have a unique mild garlic flavor). Morels are like a sponge for creamy French sauces! So good!

    • @plusfour1
      @plusfour1 8 місяців тому

      You need it to be able to fit inside your Dutch oven. Stephane is using a 2 kg (4.4 lbs) bird which would be classed as a roaster and you don't want the bird to touch the lid because the skin will come off. A typical fryer is more like 3 lbs (1.4 kg) and a capon is 5-8 lbs (2.25-3.5 kg) although some growers will produce birds up to 15 lbs at the extreme. For those who don't know, a capon is a male castrated before puberty so is larger than a chicken (female) but plumper than a rooster.

  • @adamchurvis1
    @adamchurvis1 2 роки тому

    Folks, chop your carcasses into smaller pieces -- about 1" chunks max -- and you will achieve better flavor. All those additional surfaces brown nicely, resulting in a more roasted flavor in the finished stock.
