- 3 cloves garlic
- 200 gm mushrooms halved, 2 cups
- 125 gm Bacon chopped (1/2 cup)
- 250 ml red wine 1 cup

Instructions
- Put the porcini mushrooms in a bowl or jug and add cold water to cover. Leave to soak until soft. (about 10 minutes)
- Heat a large pot. Add the olive oil and then add the legs and brown them. Turning till evenly coloured. Take out of the pan and set aside on a plate while you prepare the sauce to cook them in.
- Leave the pot or deep frypan on the heat and add the bacon, onion, mushrooms, anchovies & garlic and saute on low till softened. Add the stock, red wine and some of the drained porcini water (see below)
- Add the drained porcini's, the chicken and the cream. Put a lid on to the pot and simmer on low for 10 minutes. Test the chicken with the tip of a knife making sure the juices run clear, if not let it cook for a few minutes more.
- Remove the lid and add the parsley and turn up the heat a little and let reduce by up to 1/4. Taste. If the sauce tastes a little flat add salt and a Tablespoon of balsamic vinegar (or lemon juice) and stir.
Notes
- Never use the last bit of the porcini water as it will be gritty
