Wine Recipes

This is a lighter take on the classic Italian preparation of Chicken Cacciatore (or Chicken Hunter Style). Our made-over version uses white meat rather than dark and less oil to cut almost 60 calories per serving and reduce the fat and sodium of the traditional recipe.

Garlic, onion and mushrooms surround the chicken and all are slowly sauteed and finished with a splash of red marsala cooking wine.

This is a fabulous traditional Italian dish that I grew up on. This is a great complement to just about any main dish.

An elegant entree of tuna, bathed in an herb-infused white wine sauce, served on a bed of couscous.

Baked or grilled tilapia marinated in white wine, lemon, and onion.

Chicken thighs are cooked with red & yellow sweet peppers, onion, mushrooms, and a sauce made from cream soups and white wine.

This recipe's at its best when marinated overnight in the fridge, but if you're in a hurry you can cut it down to 20 minutes.

These are great to toss on the BBQ or grill for a party. We serve them with wholemeal pita breads cut into quarters, spread with a little garlic and low-fat margarine and barbequed lightly. Mmm... toasty!

This roast is delicious and melts in your mouth and best of all, it does not have too many calories! I usually serve this with a side of grilled veggies.

I added a tablespoon of butter and served with spaghetti squash for a low-carb treat!

This is a quick & easy recipe that tastes great!

Wow! A wine/butter sauce in a light dish? This is tasty and light and packs a heavy dose of spinach. I make it when the kids are out; this is a grown-up gourmet dish, and it cooks up quickly.

Inspired by the grilled meats of Tuscany.

My take in the popular "Hells Kitchen" Beef Wellington

This is a dish that can be added to pasta, to flat bread to make a sandwich, or it can be enjoyed by itself.

Feel like your Christmas tradition is missing a little bit of the old country flair? Like to add fire to your drinks? Feuerzangenbowle is a traditional German mulled wine that is served around New Year's Eve. What makes it different from regular mulled wine is the addition of a small cone of sugar (Zuckerhut) that you suspend over the wine, soak in rum, and light on fire.

It looks impressive & it tastes delicious. :)

I was trying to piece together some leftovers and I thought I'd add chicken to the edamame pasta and green beans I had in the fridge... but I didn't want MORE tomato-based sauce... I've been eating that all week. So I decided to try something different, and it turned out spectacular.

This is kind of a cross between a light white wine sauce and a heavy white gravy, that's why I use the water to thin it out a bit.

It was perfect for the meal in the picture, and I think it would taste great over a white fish like tilapia or swai.

One way to make a great gourmet morel mushroom dish!

I absolutely love these ribs. So rich in flavor and an economical cut of beef. This is a 5 star recipe if you have the time to let it cook slowly. Tip. Prepare in crock pot the night before and put to cook in the morning. Then you will come home to a delectable meal! Great with Mash Potatoes and Asparagus. Yummmy!

Could be done in a crock pot, but is much better in the oven.

A rich and flavourful beef stew in red wine sauce. Can be eaten alone or would go well with potato or colcannon (see Clare's Colcannon). This tasty dish is low in calories, high in protein, B vitamins and vitamin A.

I got this recipe from Wanna Be Chef. I don't like Brussels Sprouts but I figured I'll give it one last shot, and besides it's got taste good with red wine in it! Yum!

This is a wonderful Christmas treat.
