Blushing Wine Sauce

I thought that my readers were hungry for another recipe. Am I right? This was inspired by the meal my sister made for me last weekend. The sauce is made from White Zinfandel wine. I don't enjoy drinking but I like to cook with wine at times. The wine sauce is such a great change from the heavy cream sauces I have been making lately. Baking the chicken until just done then transferring the strips to the skillet helps infuse the sauce's flavors into the chicken.

I have a very sad little garden this year and managed to find about 5 ripe cherry tomatoes that I added in with the store bought ones. Mine were superior to the store tomatoes. They have a much more fresh and delicate taste. The store bought ones had a very pungent tomato taste that reminded me of tomato soup. Still delicious, but I wish my tomato plants were producing more fruit.

  1. We have cherry tomatoes from our little garden -- in fact, tomatoes of all kinds were our success story this year. Of course, we were hoping for the pumpkins to come out..

    Anyway, this recipe sounds delish and a half! Do you have any brilliant suggestions for using those itty-bitty yellow tomatoes?

  2. Thank you for the comment! I'm glad that someone in some part of the world was able to make something in their garden grow. I think my problem was the unusually cold summer. Oh, well, maybe next year.

    I hope that if you make this recipe you enjoy it. I would recommend using about a cup or two of the Zin. It seems to cook away quickly. Just be sure to cook it long enough to neutralize the alcohol. Unless you like that. : )

    I have not cooked with tiny yellow tomatoes. But I suppose you could substitute any cherry tomato for the yellow ones. Maybe a tomato tart would be nice try this recipe: http://www.culinarycafe.com/Pies-Pasteries/Three_Tomato_Tart.html
