• Preparation

  Wipe and quarter the paris mushrooms.

  Remove the skin or membrane and cut the bacon into chunks or cubes.

  Peel the celeri root and cut into big matchsticks (julienne).

  Peel the carrots and cut into big matchsticks (julienne).

  Cut the new potatoes in two.

  Chop the parsley.

  Peel and chop the onion.

• Bourguignon style chicken

  Season the chicken. In a hot frying pan with a thread of oil, sear the chicken on both sides.  Remove from the pan and place on an ovenproof pan and finish cooking in an oven for 20 minutes.

  In a frying pan with oil, a bit of butter and a bit of water, cook down the pearl onions.

  In a hot frying pan, sautée the bacon, then add the mushrooms and sautée for another 2 minutes.  Add the pearl onions, season and stir. Keep warm.

• Root vegetables

  In a hot frying pan on high heat with a thread of oil, sweat the onions briefly and then add the root vegetables.  Cook for about 3 minutes.  Transfer the vegetables to a baking sheet and sprinkle with garlic and thyme, season, mix well, then place in the oven for about 40 minutes.  Mix a few times throughout the roasting, and check for tenderness to avoid over cooking them.  Sprinkle with parsley just before serving.

• Cheese polenta

  In a sauce pot, bring the milk with a pinch of salt to a boil. Reduce to medium heat and add the polenta slowly. Do not stop stirring with a whisk to avoid the polenta sticking or making chunks. Cook for about 15 minutes while continuing to stir occasionally with a spatula. Remove from heat and add the parmesan cheese, taste and adjust seasoning accordingly. Pour onto a baking sheet lined with saran wrap and place in the fridge to cool. Once fully cooled cut into 10cmx3cm rectangles.In a hot frying pan with butter, fry on all sides until you reach a nice golden color. Set aside and keep warm.

• Plating

  On a plate of your choice, place two polenta sticks in the center. Place a generous serving of roasted vegetables on top. Next, place 2 pieces of chicken on top of the vegetables and finally top with the bourguignon garnish.
