“Based on a recipe from Paul Bocuse’s, Bocuse à la Carte cookbook. “EDITOR’S NOTE: To deglaze, skim off as much fat as possible from casserole, add cognac, and ignite quickly to burn off any remaining fat.” If you cannot get a real bulbous spring onion, I suggest substituting a leek, which is reflected in the ingredients list (I wouldn’t want anyone to think that Paul made this suggestion!). Much of the cook time is simmering time, i.e., it's not busy time.”
