It is certainly not considered a party wine but as a palate refresher/cleanser between courses of a meal and most certainly after dinner with a good sharp cheese it is perfect. It is available in both deep ruby red and golden amber white.
So YES you can drink Marsala wine and many people do.
absolutely! although it may be a tad sweeter than dry sherry.
Risky, Marsala is very sweet and also has a very strong flavour that is very different from dry (not sweet) sherry. But then some great recipes have come out of taking a chance.
Yes!
Yes.
Chicken Marsala is traditionally made with Marsala Wine. But If you want to use Sherry wine. Buy the best one you can afford, the same for the Marsala ( It's an Italian sweet wine ) I recommend trying the Marsala. I say always when cooking with wine use the best stuff you can afford. The better the wine the better the flavor.
No, because sauternes is a sweet white wine, while marsala and sherry are red and can be dry.
You can use equal parts dry sherry/pale sherry wine; not the cooking wine... the drinking wine. :)
No. Marsala is a fortified semisweet to flat out sweet white wine that is aged in open casks giving it an acetaldehyde (sherry) odor. The flavor and cooking properties are nothing like red wine. Even red "rubio" version of Marsala is distinctly dissimilar to red wine.
Marsala is an Italian wine that is used in cooking. It is not a spice, per se.
Yes, any good quality white wine can be used instead of sherry.
There is a great Chicken Marsala recipe at allrecipes.com. It is 4 1/2 stars and all it calls for is chicken breasts, pepper, dried oregano, flour, butter, olive oil, mushrooms, Marsala wine, and cooking sherry.
Sherry is a wine that is fortified with brandy. Medium dry sherry is a cooking wine that is used in a variety of recipes.
Cooking sherry is low-quality sherry with salt added. There is no reason to buy cooking sherry. Purchase any inexpensive sherry and this will give you better control over the sodium content of your food. For a non alcoholic substitute try a mixture of vinegar, sugar and a dash of lemon juice OR a mixture of apple, cranberry and grape juice. Orange or pineapple juice can also be used.
Your best bet is to go to the wine and/or liquor store and get real sherry (wine fortified with brandy). Avoid the grocery store stuff labelled "cooking sherry".
yes you can _______ Red cooking wine would be a better substitute as sherry has a red wine base. White cooking wine wouldn't have the same depth.
Marsala is a red 'fortified' wine "produced using the Grillo, Inzolia, and Catarratto white grape varietals, among others." It is "is a wine produced in the region surrounding the Italian city of Marsala in Sicily."
