You asked us for more recipes for fish en cocotte, and nothing more delicious than monkfish tails in sauce, American style and with clams.

Although the origins of the cannelé are uncertain, the story goes that the nuns of the Annonciades convent in Bordeaux made them for the poor. They used as ingredients the wheat that they found on the docks, fallen from the holds of ships or from broken sacks, and the yolks of the eggs that were discarded to clarify the wine, since only the whites were used for this in the cellars. . Thanks to the ships that arrived at Puerto de la Luna, they got vanilla and rum to enrich their recipe.

Chicken is one of the most versatile meats out there, and today I bring it to you in a recipe that is as classic as it is tasty, the traditional recipe for Mustard Chicken.
