I didn't realize I didn't have enough white wine once I started to cook this, so I dug through the pantry to see if I had white wine vinegar, and I came across a bottle of "Sherry cooking wine" from who know when. It smelled fine, so I subbed 3/4 c. of it, and an additional 1/4 cup of chicken bouillon, for the 1 cup white wine and 1 tsp of sugar. I also have to say, I was leery of using a LARGE onion, but I had blind faith and figured for 5 stars it had to be right. I have also learned, with my keen taste buds and those of my sweetie, to double or triple whatever the amount of garlic that is in the recipe (for this one, I doubled it). I've not made this recipe before so I have nothing to compare it to taste-wise, but I will tell you that this was one absolutely amazing dinner! As in, something I would expect to get at a really good restaurant! THANK YOU!
