Robust Italian Stew: Wine-Braised Beef Over Creamy Polenta recipe

Another Dr. Life original, this recipe is a great example of how to combine great spices to get a flavorful meal without having to use a lot of salt. Seitan is a good source of protein, however it is a gluten based product so if you are a sufferer of Celiac, you will need to use a different (and gluten free) protein substitute!

Marinating the chicken in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dried thyme and tarragon add great depth to a rice sauce that's smoothed by just a hint of red currant jelly and enhanced with apricots and tawny port. Be sure to use tawny port. With its beautiful amber color and slightly dry flavor, it compliments the apricots. Save your ruby port, which is sweeter and has a deep red wine color, for after dinner.
