Coq au Riesling · Strasbourg
Alsace's white-wine answer to coq au vin: chicken braised in dry Riesling with mushrooms and cream, finished glossy and served over buttered egg noodles or spaetzle.
Where Burgundy braises its chicken in red, Alsace reaches for its own dry Riesling. Coq au Riesling is the region's house chicken dish, the bird simmered slowly in white wine with mushrooms and shallots, then enriched with cream at the end. It belongs to the same farmhouse tradition as baeckeoffe and choucroute, using the wine that grows on the doorstep. Winstubs and home kitchens alike serve it with spaetzle to catch the sauce.
