PRESSURE-COOKER COQ AU VIN
Traditionally, this French bistro classic involves braising chicken slowly in red wine. But when coq au vin is made in the Instant Pot or pressure cooker, the deeply satisfying flavor is equal to that of traditional stovetop simmering-in about a third of the time. This recipe appears in our cookbook "Martha Stewart's Pressure Cooker" (Clarkson Potter).
