Miso Aegean Coq au Vin

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: chicken thighs, olive oil, garlic and set within reach of the stove.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the shallots and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Add the coq au vin and let it miso, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the lemon and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Add the white wine and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
6. Taste and adjust, then finish with a knob of butter right before serving.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
