Cooking with Wine, what’s your favorite recipe?

I love cooking with wine too!! I like making wine burgers w/ cheap zifandel wines. Just pat uncooked ground beef patty with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Then stuff with chopped onion. Toss the patty into a skillet. As the burger starts to simmer, pour the zifandel wine over it. Brown as you like & eat like you would any ordinary burger.

I also use wine with pastas. Just toss cooked noodles with white wine, red wine, or chardonnay. Simmer for 2 or 3 minutes or until wine dissolves. Then add to your favorite sauce and meat.
