Can balsamic vinegar be substituted for red wine vinegar in recipes?

admin — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 20:22:29 +0000

I am making potato salad that calls for red wine vinegar, but all I have is balsamic. wil this work?

You betcha, Tammy……….

Depending on how much the salad calls for, I’d either use it "full force" or dilute it, say if the recipe calls for 1 TBS on vinegar, use 2 tsp balsamic and one tsp of water.

The more balsamic you use, the more "tang" the overall product will achieve. Enjoy your potato salad!!!

BTW, did you know that you can dress a potato salad with a vinigarette instead of a mayo based dressing?? Works VERY well, and you don’t have to worry about the salad being out for extended periods: no eggs to worry about in the mayo……….

During my travels to Central America I’ve had sangria that has lemonade or limeade on the bottom and wine on the top. Then you stir it together and enjoy. Any ideas what this is?

What could be the substitute for rice wine in Chinese recipes?

admin — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 05:20:24 +0000

As a Muslim I can;t use anything made with wine or unless I am not completely sure that there is not wine in the stuff I am using. So what could be the possible substitute and please leave me your contact as I keep asking so many questions about cooking and home stuff.

Just leave it out. There is nothing that is non-alcoholic that can be substituted for Chinese rice wine. If you’ve never had a dish with rice wine, you won’t know any different.

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.

Can white wine vinegar be used in place of white wine in recipes – specifically chicken cacciatore?

admin — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 23:42:19 +0000

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.
