Coq Au Vin.

As soon as I saw a recipe for coq au vin in the crock pot, I knew I had to try it. Especially since this is the kind of recipe where you just put everything in the crock pot and 8 hours later you have something wonderful. Right up my alley.

All the ingredients are in the crock pot and ready to go.

Doesn’t this look fantastic?

I served this with mashed potatoes but it would also be good with pasta.

I think this would be a great meal idea for dinner guests. Elegant yet easy.

Enjoy!
