When the going gets tough, the tough get cooking....
OK, so it's not chicken, it's a @Killerbunny famous Beltswille white, 2 drumsticks and 4 wings
I have never tried this type of one pot cooking because I simply prefer high heat fast cooking, but as boredom is slowly setting in, thought I would try to expand my repertoire :)
so here goes, brown the meat and insert in cast iron pot, add any veggies laying around, splash in a bit of stock and glog in some white wine.

Looks tasty ... and I'm guessing this dish just wouldn't be the same without that glog of white wine. ;-)

I feel a bit remiss for not mentioning that, beside salt and pepper, copious amounts of garlic
"Herbes de Provence" rubbed on the meat with olive oil, and if you have couple of branches of fresh rosemary in the pot.


HERBES DE PROVENCE
This is an almost mythical herb mix traditionally made with herbs that grow wild throughout Provence. There, it is added to everything from soup to fresh goat cheese; it echoes the landscape on the plate, evoking the hot, rugged landscape, the delicate villages perched atop hills.. I make my own blend of these herbs and use it fresh during the summer, then am sure to dry some for winter as well, when I want the sun on my palate. ASTUCE: To dry these herbs, I put them outside IN THE SHADE, so they dry with the hot breeze of summer. Once dried, store them in an air-tight container in a dark, cool spot.
INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup fresh rosemary leaves 3 generous grams
1/3 cup fresh savory leaves 3 generous grams
1/3 cup fresh oregano leaves 3 generous grams
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
