I'm currently reading "A Year in Provence" by Peter Mayle. So inspired was I that I decided that something Provençal was in order for supper tonight.
I cooked a whole chicken with onions, bacon, crushed olives, tomatoes, white wine, and herbs.
Served with crusty bread, and sprinkled with a little Persillade (fresh garlic and flat leaf parsley, chopped up together) at the end. Looks fancy, took 45 minutes, and tastes amazing!
