love to cook and i am always looking for new recipes. but surprisingly enough i do not have any that include red wine. any suggestion would be great!!!!!

BEOUF BOURGUIGNON (RED WINE BEEF STEW)

2 lb. Beef rolled rump roast*
1/4 c. All-purpose flour
2 tbsp. Olive oil
2 tbsp. Vegetable oil
1 Clove garlic
1-1/4 c. Dry red wine
1-1/2 c. Water
1/2 Small bay leaf
1-1/4 tsp. Salt
2 Sprigs parsley
3 Slices bacon, diced
18 Small white onions
3 tbsp. Tomato paste
1/2 tsp. Dried thyme leaves
1/4 tsp. Ground pepper
2 tbsp. Butter or margarine
18 Small mushroom caps

Heat oven to 325 F. Coat beef cubes with flour. Heat oil in Dutch oven. Brown beef cubes in hot oil. Add garlic; cook 1 minute. Remove garlic and fat. Add wine and enough water to cover the meat. Stir in bay leaf, salt and parsley. Cover and bake 2 hours. Fry bacon just until lump. Add onions; cook until light brown. Stir bacon and onions into beef cube mixture. Cover and bake until beef cubes are tender, about 40 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, thyme and pepper. Cover and bake 10 minutes. Melt butter in 6-inch skillet. Cook and stir mushrooms in butter until tender; arrange on top.

*NOTE: Beef bottom round or boneless chuck eye can be substituted for the beef rolled rump roast.

FLANK STEAK WITH WINE SAUCE

1 whole garlic bulb
1-1/2 tsp. olive oil, divided
1 beef flank steak (1-1/2 pounds)
1 tsp. coarsely ground pepper
3/4 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. butter, divided
1/2 c. reduced-sodium beef broth
1 c. dry red wine*
1/4 c. thinly sliced green onions

Note: Substitute 1/4 c. grape juice and 3/4 c. additional reduced-sodium beef broth, if desired

Remove papery outer skin from garlic bulb (do not peel or separate cloves). Cut off top of garlic bulb; brush with 1/2 teaspoon oil. Wrap bulb in heavy-duty foil. Bake at 425 F. for 30-35 minutes or until softened. Cool for 10-15 minutes. Squeeze softened garlic into a small bowl; mash and set aside. Sprinkle steak with pepper and salt. In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook steak over medium-high heat in remaining oil for 3-4 minutes on each side or until browned. Reduce heat to medium; add 1 tablespoon butter. Cook for 4-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness. Remove and keep warm. Gradually add broth and wine or grape juice and additional broth to pan, stirring to loosen browned bits. Bring to a boil. Stir in mashed garlic. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until liquid is reduced by half. Strain sauce and return to pan.
Stir in remaining butter until melted. Thinly slice steak across the grain. Sprinkle with onions. Serve with sauce. Makes 6 servings.

CROCKPOT HUNTER CHICKEN

1 tbsp. oil
1 Bell pepper, sliced
1 onion, sliced
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 whole chicken
cinnamon, ground
curry powder
cumin, ground
turmeric
6 oz. mushrooms, sliced*
8 oz. tomatoes
1/2 c. red wine
3 tbsp. cornstarch
1 tsp, garlic salt
1/4 c. water

Brown bell pepper, onion, and garlic in oil in skillet. Also brown mushrooms, if using fresh. Place whole chicken in crockpot; add seasonings and vegetables, topping with vegetables from skillet. Add wine. Cook until tender. Warm a platter in a 200-degree oven. Remove the chicken to the platter. Add water to the cornstarch and salt. Stir to a paste and add to crockpot mixture. Cook until slightly thickened and bubbly. Spoon sauce over chicken.

*Sliced fresh mushrooms are best, although you can use canned.

Not at all.

Vinegar of any type causes a chemical reaction.

Wine of any type reduces to a flavorful sugar.

If you need a substitute, use chicken broth, any clear liquor or omit it.

we usually make cake, wine and cheese balls. what are the traditional recipes?
Yes. I am asking for recipes for other christmas goodies apart from cake and wine.

spiced apple cider – throw cinnamon sticks, a couple of cloves, grated nutmeg and orange peel and/or whatever sounds good to you in a piece of cheese cloth and tie. Place your apple cider in a crock pot and throw in the spices.

Recipe: http://www.HealthyVeganRecipes.net/video/red-wine-lentil-salad
Get a good portion of greens in tonights meal, the latest in this series of healthy vegan recipes. Lettuce is served fresh and lightly dressed with a red wine vinaigrette, and swiss chard is cooked slightly with the lentils. We can always use more greens in our diet, and they help in the digestion of lentils, which are full of protein and calcium. Top this salad with a tangy sunflower seed crumble to bring life to the earthy lentils.

I have a bottle of wine in the fridge that I don’t want to drink, but i dont want it to go to waste either. Please give me a good recipe with white wine.

Fish recipes are always good for white wine. You can also use it with chicken as a stock additive, along with the chicken broth. do not use it with red meat.
