NCT Cooks Challenge 12 Week July 19-July 26 FRENCH!

When I was up north, I had access to gnocchi all the time. Down here, it's beginning to look like I'd have to make it myself. I would have served it with gnocchi if I had it. Thought of potatoes, but the sauce was simply screaming for the polenta. What would you have used, Cooksie?

It's been a while since I've cooked this, but the first time we probably just had it in a shallow bowl with a baguette (it's got vegetables in there :biggrin:). And I think we had it once with roasted potatoes, but I really, really like the gnocchi idea. I haven't made coq au vin since I began making gnocchi though. It looks great with polenta too. IMO, just about anything with a red wine sauce is good on polenta.
 
Guts,

That's exactly the recipe I started with 30 years ago - straight from Julia in Mastering the Art of French Cooking, volume 1. Exactly!
Thanks for posting the recipe, Guts. Now I don't feel obligated to do all that typing! I'm sending you karma for that!

Sorry about posting this so late. I have been ill right after my post here, and wanted to reply but haven't felt good enough to copy the recipe from V&M Price. Which I will post under seafood.

SilverSage The recipe I posted was from the other cook book from the 60's
