Put the brisket, zucchini and onion into the mold, fry over high heat for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to brown. Put the chicken back in the dish, add garlic and marjoram, fry for 1 minute. Cast off 2 tbsp. l. wine, and pour the rest of the wine into a mold and let it boil for 5 minutes.
