- add the red wine, vinegar and spices to the veggies and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the liquid content to concentrate and reduce slightly.

- Stir all this up and add the cooked chicken.
- Cover the pot and cook for 45 minutes over low to medium heat.
- After 45 minutes, add the mushrooms and cook uncovered for another 15 minutes.
- Serve over pasta, with rice, with mashed potatoes, with polenta or by itself with bread and plan to be loved.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a PhD student in the art history and archaeology of ancient central and south american petroglyphs, pyramids, geoglyphs and all kinds of rock art.
I'm also a burgeoning librarian because, for whatever reason, conservation of historical artifacts and archives is a part of information studies (read- "library science") at UT. Who knew? But I like being a librarian... it's got a certain David Lee Roth "Hot for Teacher" appeal. I mean, really, feel free to bring your pencil.
Of course, all this is an elaborate ruse to make me seem somewhat respectable. My true lust for life lay in my pending performance-art-for-beer revolution, the development of tasty gluten and soy free recipes and the propagation of that which is known as the Minnesota Meat Raffle.
I've always enjoyed cooking and eating and although I'm hobbled in the kitchen by soy and gluten allergies, I think most of those around me can still say I'm a damned fine cook.
