Ingredients

• 500 g Chicken (cut into pieces)
• 300 g Pork shoulder (cubed)
• 150 g Bacon (diced)
• 2 Carrots (sliced)
• 2 Parsnips (sliced)
• 1 Onion (diced)
• 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 250 ml White wine
• 500 ml Chicken stock
• 3 Thyme (fresh sprigs)
• 1 Bay leaf
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 200 g Mushrooms (sliced)
• 3 Potatoes (cubed)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Sear them in the pot until golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

Add the diced bacon to the pot and cook until crispy. Remove and set aside with the chicken.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the pork shoulder cubes and brown them on all sides. Remove and set aside with the other meats.

Step 6

Deglaze the pot with the white wine, scraping the browned bits from the bottom to release their flavor. Let the wine simmer for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 7

Return the chicken, bacon, and pork shoulder to the pot. Add the sliced carrots, parsnips, mushrooms, and cubed potatoes.

Step 8

Pour the chicken stock into the pot and add the thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Stir gently to combine.

Step 9

Cover the pot with a lid and simmer on low heat for 70–80 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meats are tender and the flavors have melded together.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed before serving.

Step 11

Serve La Gallimafre hot, garnished with fresh thyme if desired, alongside crusty bread or over a bed of rice.
