Speedy Coq Au Vin
To save her newly married son from starvation, my mother-in-law, Karen, showed up one day and tactfully suggested that she and I cook a few things together. It's a good thing she did, too. This was the first dish we tried. Her version was a huge hit, but took triple the time that this one did. Now that I've adapted her recipe with my shortcuts, I don't have to cringe every time my husband requests the dish. I'm grateful to her for this, and her many kindnesses over the years.

Thank you for this recipe!!! It is so good that I want to make it every Shabbos from now on. So simple and quick to make, yet it tastes like it cooked for hours.
Hi Melinda – I am so glad you agree this is such a crowd favorite and such an easy twist on a classic. Glad you love!
When I have extra wine from the week before I always make this for the next Shabbos. I often leave it on the blech and have it for Shabbat lunch. So juicy and never tastes dried out, despite being out since Friday night.
did anyone ever use real margarine, as i cant get the subsstitute. can i subsitute oil for margarine?
The perfect recipe for pesach! Was yum!
This was very good and quick to make. I used olive oil in place of the marg. and it still came out great. Next time I might try melted coconut oil in place of marg since its prob closer to real thing. Thanks for recipe!
