Thats country French food, she explains in the episode.
Its not some fancy French restaurant.
Its featured in her cookbookBarefoot in Paris, and shes even demonstrated it step-by-step in aYouTube video.
Heres how Ina does it.
She removes the bacon and sets it aside.
Be sure to take care in drying your chickenthat will help you get the golden-brown skin you want.
She then sautes the carrots, onions, salt and pepper in the same pot, stirring occasionally.
Garten stirs it into the stew to thicken the sauce.
She separately sautes the mushrooms in butter until golden brown before folding them into the dish.
Finally, she lets everything simmer together for another 10 minutes or so before serving.
From an unexpected campsite meal to a cherished classic, this simple dish remains one of her all-time favorites.
