Hen Cooked in Wine
Boros Tyuk

The original recipe uses a big old hen and Tojak.
Tojak in the United States is hard to find and so
expensive it makes this dish not worth making.
I have trimmed the hen down to a 2-3 lb chicken
and substituted the expensive Tojak for dry sherry.
Dry sherry may be an inferior substitute but much
easier on the wallet.

1 chicken 2-3 lbs
2 carrots chopped
1 parsnip chopped
2 Tbs butter
2 Tbs flour
Dry sherry
1/2 cup cream
1 egg yolk
salt and pepper to taste

Take the smallest pot the chicken will fit in and
cook with sherry and equal parts water. Add
carrots and parsnip with some salt and pepper.
When chicken is tender remove from pot. Remove
skin and cut in pieces. Make a light roux with flour
and butter and add to soup. Cook soup until it thickens.
Add lemon juice and zest. Add meat to pot and bring
to boil. Mix yolk and cream. Remove from heat and
add the cream and yolk mixture. Serve immediately.
