After 10 years of effort, I have been able to make a ragout to Cheryl’s taste. She was always telling me that Adèle’s own was much better than mine. After 10 years I called Adele for her recipe.

Ingredients:

One big chicken, about 2 to 3 kg
Water
About 500 ml grilled flour
5 ml salt
2 ml black pepper
5 ml parsley
2 ml thyme
2 ml savoury
Pork meat balls (see meat ball recipe)

Method:

In a large pot, cover the chicken with water and boil it for 2 to 3 hours
Filter the broth and refrigerate overnight so it will be easier to remove the fat.
De-bone the chicken and cut into small pieces
Brown the flour in a cast iron frying pan, stirring often
Bring the broth to a boil in a large pot
Add flour gradually, stirring with a whisk to mix well
Add the spices, chicken and meat balls
Let simmer for about 40 minutes
