Next, he adds Dijon mustard to the pan, which pairs well with the bold flavor of the red wine he adds shortly after. As the pork cooks, he sautés onions, which will become sweet and caramelized as they cook in the flavorful juices.

For a side dish, Buddy prepares Roasted Root Vegetables with White Wine and Herbs. He chops up a mixture of carrots, parsnips, and sweet potatoes before tossing them in olive oil, white wine, and a selection of herbs such as rosemary and thyme. He then roasts the vegetables until they are tender and golden brown.

Buddy also creates a delicious dessert of Red Wine Poached Pears with Mascarpone Cream. He poaches the pears in a mixture of red wine, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla bean, resulting in a flavorful and elegant dessert. To serve, he tops the pears with a dollop of rich mascarpone cream and a sprinkle of crushed amaretto cookies.
