This is a great dish for those hot, rainy summer nights -- too hot to use the stove and too wet to grill I usually serve this over some quick-cooking brown or white rice. Per MasterCook using wine and raisins: 269 cals, 7.9 g fat (29.7%CFF), 0.7g fiber= 6 points Points remain the same using apple juice or dry sherry. Omitting raisins reduces the points to 5 ( even though the fiber goes down from .7 to ⅕ g per serving, the calories go down to 232.3) Switching from wine to apple juice reduces the calories to 222⅘ when omitting the raisins -- but the points remain at 5.
