Chicken blood
40 g Butter
1 tb Flour
1 sm Glass of cognac
1 1/2 Bottle of red wine
Salt and pepper
Tarragon; (optional)

Reserve your poultry a few days in advance by asking for the blood to
be kept. The rooster is usually sold emptied. It is enough to remove
heart, lungs, liver; but do it carefully so as not to die the fiel
glued to the liver that would give bitterness. Cut the chicken into
eight pieces on a board. Also cut the carcass and neck into small
pieces (they will give the dish a soft meal). Salt. Remove the rinds
from the bacon and cut into cubes.

Remove the earthy foot from the mushrooms, wash them quickly with cold
water. Peel carrots, onions, and 1 clove of garlic, leave the other
in a shirt (surrounded by its last envelope). Boil the tomato, peel
off the skin. Attach the garnished bouquet.

Axes the liver, the heart, the lungs, and the clove of garlic peeled.
Put in a bowl and add the blood of the chicken, book the whole that
will later serve to bind the sauce.

In a casserole, melt the butter and Brown the pieces of Rooster
(including the carcass) with Bacon and onions for about 7 minutes.
Then add the chopped tomato into quarters, carrots, mushrooms,
onions, garnished bouquet and garlic in a shirt. Sweat all over
medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Add 1 spoonful of flour, stir with a
wooden spoon, let Cook for another 5 minutes, then thaw with the
Cognac; Stir again, then add the red wine. Let cook 35 to 45 minutes
about to be uncovered.

Remove the pieces from the Rooster as well as the trim and keep them
warm.

Also remove the carcass parts and discard.

Pass the sauce through a fine colander, then boil it. Add liver,
heart, lungs, garlic, and blood. Let Cook for a few minutes stirring
and without boiling, while the sauce thickens, and put chicken and
garnish in the sauce. Correct the seasoning, give a round of the
pepper mill.

Serve hot in the baking dish. Accompany with fresh pasta.
