    I have an old,well seasoned 20" cast iron skillet that would be just the thing for this recipe, if I used brandy instead of the wine. Wine tannins react to iron and gives an off taste, but I like the idea of using the same cooking pan.

    I've used the skillet to fry fish on the BBQ many times.

    Thanks for sharing....Bob
