"This recipe uses canned white beans in place of chicken for a quick and totally vegetarian riff on classic coq au vin Mushrooms, red wine, Cognac and a splash of balsamic vinegar stirred in just before serving help this dish develop an impressive depth of flavor in just a short time The quality of your vegetable broth makes a big difference here; use an organic or other good-quality brand for best results...."
