It's a good example of "meat in a minor key". It can be served with pasta or rice instead of polenta but the polenta has a special creamy texture that goes beautifully with the chewy meat and tender vegetable. Italian Beef Stew with Polenta Stew 1 tsp. light olive oil with a dash of toasted sesame oil 12 ounces beef round, trimmed of all fat and cut in 1 inch cubes 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 ounce Canadian bacon, chopped 1 cup chopped onion 1/2 cup diced carrots 1/3 cup chopped celery 1 tsp. oregano 1/2 tsp. thyme 1 bay leaf 1 cup ARIEL Cabernet Sauvignon 1/2 cup low sodium beef broth, preferably homemade 1/2 cup low sodium diced tomato 1 tsp. arrowroot mixed with 1 Tbl. Merlot (slurry) Italian Beef Stew with Polenta Polenta Vegetable 3 cups cold water 1 cup cornmeal 1/4 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 bunches collard greens, washed, stemmed and lightly steamed Italian Beef Stew with Polenta Preheat the oven to 350F.. Heat 1/2 teaspoon of the oil in an oven proof skillet. Brown the meat on all sides and remove from the pan. Pour the rest of the oil into the same pan and fry the onion until it starts to wilt, 2 or 3 minutes. Add the garlic, Canadian bacon, carrots, celery, herbs, salt and pepper. Italian Beef Stew with Polenta Turn the heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes stirring so the vegetables don't brown. Return the meat to the pan, pour in the wine, broth and tomatoes and add the bay leaf. Cover and bake for 1 1/2 hours in the preheated oven. Discard the bay leaf and add the slurry. Bring to a boil to thicken. Italian Beef Stew with Polenta Before the stew is done, start the polenta in a large saucepan. Stir the cornmeal into the boiling water in a slow, steady stream, keeping the water boiling. Add the salt and pepper after the cornmeal has been added. Stir, scraping the bottom and sides of the saucepan often, until the polenta is thick and pulls away from the sides of the pan cleanly. This will take 25 minutes for coarsely ground cornmeal and 5 to 10 minutes for regular cornmeal. Italian Beef Stew with Polenta To serve: Spoon the meat sauce over the polenta and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Served with the steamed collards on the side. Enjoy with Rouge or Merlot.

I took this classic and used the Rock Cornish game hens, the small flavorsome North American bi-partisan or multi national experiment in genetics and bathed it in a Napa Valley Merlot. Add new potatoes to the "casserole" and spinach as a side dish and you'll get more than a "whiff" of the pleasures in store for you at the French flavored tables of Quebec in Canada.

Petite Coq au Vin Place the onions, Canadian bacon, turnips, mushrooms, potatoes and thyme into the pan and cook stirring 2 or 3 minutes. Add the salt, pepper, bay leaves and pour in the stock and wine. Return the browned hens to the pan, cover, and bring to a boil. Bake in preheated over 40 minutes. Petite Coq au Vin Remove the chicken to a plate to cool slightly, before removing the skin and bones. Leave the flesh in the largest pieces possible. Discard the skin, bones, and bay leaves. Carefully strain the liquid into A fat strainer then pour back into the pan (through a sieve) without the fat. Petite Coq au Vin Bring to a boil and let it Boil, uncovered, 10 minutes to reduce the liquid and finish the vegetables. Stir in the slurry and return the cooked chicken.

If you cook the chicken in Merlot and added vegetables, it would be Coq au Vin. It's up to you to mix and match vegetables and wine to find the ones you like best. Sauteed Chicken For the potatoes: 3 # Russet potatoes, peeled and cut in eighths 4 cloves garlic, peeled 1/4 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. white pepper 1/2 cup plain, Dannon not fat yogurt 2 Tbl. chopped fresh chives Sauteed Chicken For the chicken: 1 tsp. light olive oil with a dash of toasted sesame oil 2 cloves garlic 4 chicken breasts, visible fat removed, skin left on 1 tsp. dried rosemary 1/8th tsp salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup Chardonnay 1 Tbl. arrowroot mixed with 2 Tbl.

Drain, cover potatoes with a clean cloth and set over very low heat for about 5 minutes. Mash roughly, making sure the garlic gets thoroughly mashed and mixed in. Add the salt, white pepper, yougurt and chives and mix well. Cover and keep warm until you are ready to serve. Sauteed Chicken Heat the oil in a skillet just big enough to hold the chicken breasts. Toss in the garlic and stir about 30 seconds. Add the chicken, skin side down, brown and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Try to keep the garlic from burning, (if it does, just discard it). When the skin side is brown, about 3 minutes, turn it and brown the other side about 2 minutes. Sauteed Chicken Toss the rosemary on top and pour in the wine. Simmer, covered, 15 to 20 minutes or until the juices run clear when you pierce the chicken with a knife. Remove the chicken breasts to a warm plate. Strain the cooking liquid into a fat separator. While the fat is rising to the top (3 to 5 minutes), remove the skin from the chicken and garnish each piece with paprika and chopped parsley. Sauteed Chicken Pur the defatted liquid back into the pan and add the arrowroot slurry. Heat to thicken. To serve: Place a chicken breast and 1/4 of the potatoes on each plate. Spoon the glossy wine sauce over the top and enjoy with the beautiful, deep red and green chard and Chardonnay, Blanc, or White Zinfandel.
