I like to use wine to make sauces sometimes. I make a chicken marsala dish except I use extra firm tofu cubes instead of the meat. I start with sauteing my home grown shallots or onions from the store, add tofu cubes and various vegetables like carrots, pea pods, green beans etc.. and finish saute until I get some caramelization on them. Then I scoop them into a bowl and deglaze pan with marsala wine until reduced and transfer that to the veg bowl. I go back to the pan and add olive oil and some flour to make a browned roux. Then I add veg mix bowl back into the pan, add a little water to the bowl to get any bits and sauce left and add that to the pan. After that I just simmer it for a while and finally spoon it onto some rice. You can do the same recipe with Madeira wine.
