I like port with a cheese board from time to time, but otherwise I don't drink it much. The taste is quite pronounced and a bit heavier than wine in my opinion. On the other hand, I find cooking with port very tasty because it really gives a warm and deep taste to your gravy and meat. And that's exactly what happened in this tasty stew. A delicious autumn recipe, but it could also be served at Christmas if you replace the chicken with a piece of game such as rabbit. In this case we make the “poor man's” version chicken thigh fillet stewed in port fig sauce. stew chicken

I say that with a wink of course, because with figs and a delicious port that easily costs 10 euros per bottle, it is not only a delicious dish, but also a culinary treat for the taste buds. So if you're willing to spend a little more on ingredients, this combination of figs and port certainly won't disappoint. It is a perfect choice for a special occasion or simply to treat yourself to a delicious gastronomic delight.

The chicken thighs can be described as the chicken steak. It is a super tender piece of meat and when stewed with port it gets a delicious sweet taste. You can stew the chicken with or without the bone in this recipe. Do mention to your guest which species you have chosen before they chew on a piece of bone later…. Figs only grew in warm places, but nowadays they also thrive in the Dutch garden.

    Hi francine,

    I made this recipe yesterday. It was delicious!!!.

    I just tied the sauce a little differently. After removing the chicken, garlic and skin from the fig wedges from the sauce, I used the immersion blender to puree the shallots and pieces of chicken thigh that had come loose.

    Then let the sauce thicken a little further, do nothing more.
