Answers: Can you share with me a simple recipe that has wine in it.

Take some boneless skinless chicken breasts. Dredge them in flour that has been seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Then sautee them a bit in a pan that you've heated over medium heat with olive oil in it. After the breasts are browned on each side (will take about 3-4 minutes per side), deglaze your pan with the wine (this means to pour in about 3/4 cup of the wine into the hot pan and whisk. Be sure to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan - this is what makes it taste better). After you pour in the wine and whisk, reduce the heat to low, put your chicken back in, and let it simmer about 5 or 6 minutes.

This works best with white wine.

You can also sautee sliced fresh mushrooms with your chicken and add more or different herbs and seasonings to suit your tastes.

You can also add a good splash of red wine to your beef stews and any beef roasts for extra flavor.

if you have some red wine left over and are not too interested in finishing it as is, consider poaching pears or other fruit in it. It's very simple. Just place peeled Anjou pears in the wine, add whatever spices you like (I prefer no spices, just sugar) like bay leaf, cinnamon, cardamom seeds and leave it there on low heat for about half/hour. You want the pears to be firm on the outside, but easily breakable with a spoon.

You can then fan them and serve with a scoop of bergamot ice cream or just plain vanilla. Add a couple of leaves of fresh mint for decoration and taste

Enjoy!

If you want to do a steak, fry the steak in the pan, remove the steak. Add some butter on high heat and fry some mushrooms. Then add some beef broth, about 1/2 cup red wine (like cab or merlot), and about 1/4 cup cream. Cook the alchohol out of sauce (about 5 mins or so). Serve over steak...delicious!!!
