INSTRUCTIONS
Wash the hen, salt, pepper and sprinkle with lemon juice. Put next to
each other into the clay pot. Cut bacon into slices and put them onto
the hens. Mix sour cream with burgundy and the herbs. Pour the mixture
carefully beside the hens into the pot. Close the pot and let the
whole stew for 60 minutes at 250 degree C (482 F). Open the pot and
test the hens, they should be as soft as butter. Remove the hens and
pour out the sauce into another pot. Put hens back and brown them with
open lid for 10 minutes at 220 degree F (428 F). Meanwhile strain
the sauce through a sieve. Add, butter, mushroom and brandy. If you
want bind the sauce with a bit of flour. Lowcal variations: (image
that in a book from 1970!) Leave out butter and bacon. Do not bind
with flour. Exchange joghurt for sour cream. Posted to FOODWINE Digest
