"We watched a nature documentary on television the other evening. A lioness captured and killed an antelope, after which the whole pride pounced on the body and fought each other to win their pound of flesh and gristle. I thought, what a good thing it is that we've organised ourselves in a slightly better way!"
- Jeffrey Smart

Ingredients

1 whole chicken
1 bunch shallots
Butter
Flour
Vermouth
Fresh tarragon
Sea salt
Mixed peppercorns

Preparation

The day before, debone a roast chicken and put pieces of meat on a plate. Use the carcass to make a chicken stock.

Roast some shallots. Once cool, peel and quarter.

Béchamel sauce
Make a roux by melting some butter in a heavy frying pan and slowly adding a little flour. Cook until the mixture becomes a biscuit crumb, and then start adding the vermouth. Slowly add the stock.

Grind fresh tarragon, sea salt, and mixed peppercorns with a stone pestle and mortar.

The chicken
Brown the chicken meat, add the tarragon with seasoning, béchamel sauce, cream and then simmer.

Serve with rice and green beans.

Hot Tips

Putting together a cheese plate

When compiling a cheese plate try to think of a combination of flavours as well as textures (sharp, pungent, crumbly, soft). This creates contrast as well as providing variety for your guests. Consider sweet additions such as cut apples, muscatels or honey.
