Cooking time: 1 hour

Ingredients (6 servings)
6 Chicken drumsticks, split at the joint
85 g Butter
4 Garlic cloves (unpeeled)
250 g Small mushrooms, halved
170 ml Sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon(s) Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon(s) Tomato Purée
350 ml Dry white wine
250 ml Crème fraîche
Tarragon or parsley to garnish
Salt
Pepper
  • Season the chicken pieces well with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the butter in a large casserole dish. As soon as it starts to foam, add the chicken pieces and the unpeeled garlic cloves. Fry without the lid over a medium heat for about 20 minutes, turning often, until the meat has taken on a nice color. Halfway through the cooking time, add the mushrooms and fry.
  • Then pour in the sherry vinegar, reduce a little, put the lid on and simmer gently over a low heat for about 15 minutes.
  • In the meantime, mix the Dijon mustard and tomato purée with the white wine and bring to the boil in a small pan over a medium heat. Stir constantly (with a whisk or fork) for approx. 8-10 minutes until a creamy sauce forms.
  • Then stir in the crème fraîche, Simmer again for approx. 5 minutes. Remove the garlic cloves. Add the finished sauce to the chicken in the casserole and mix everything well. Heat again for 3-4 minutes (no longer boiling!).
  • Place everything in a preheated serving bowl, garnish with herbs and serve hot - the classic way with buttered wheat sourdough bread to soak up the flavors of the sauce.
