4 portions
Metric Imperial

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs, bone-in
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 strips thinly chopped bacon
  • 3 1/2 oz chopped onions
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup (Dark)
  • 1/3 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 cup red wine
  • 3-4 tablespoons demi-glace sauce
  • 3/4 cup stock
  • 3 1/2 oz shimeji mushrooms
  • 2 fresh shiitake mushrooms
  • 1/4 oz white wine
  • 1 teaspoon butter, plus more to taste
  • 2 1/2 oz tagliatelle
  • Parsley, to taste
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Method

  1. Halve the chicken thighs through the joint.  Melt butter in a heavy pan, brown both sides of the chicken pieces, remove, and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Break the shimeji mushrooms into easy-to-eat pieces and cut shiitakes into 2-4 pieces.  Put the mushrooms in a small pot, add white wine, butter, salt, and pepper.  Cover and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Sauté bacon and onions in the pan from the chicken until lightly browned, add 30 ml (2 tablespoons) of flour and sauté some more, and add the chicken back in.
  4. Add red wine, demi-glace sauce, stock, maple syrup, and black pepper. When this comes to a boil, cover, turn heat to low, and braise until the meat starts to come away from the bone.
  5. Add shimeji mushrooms during cooking, along with juices.
  6. Boil tagliatelle in plenty of hot water with salt, drain, sauté in butter, and season with salt and pepper.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning by adding maple syrup, salt and pepper. Serve with tagliatelle.

More about Maple

Maple syrup comes in four classifications, according to colour and taste.

At the start of sugaring season, syrup is generally clear, with a lightly sweet taste. It becomes darker and caramelized as the season goes on.

An unopened can of maple syrup keeps for many years.

Once the can is opened, syrup should be kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

100% pure maple butter contains no butter or dairy.

Like all 100% pure maple products, maple butter comes from the sap of the maple tree… and that’s all.
