I've always had good luck with a combination of low-salt beef broth mixed with tomato paste. For example, to replace 2 cups of wine, bring 2 1/3 cups of broth and 2 tablespoons tomato paste to a boil in a saucepan. Boil gently until the mix is reduced by one-third, about 10 minutes. Don't let it burn. For a little acidity, you can add a splash of red wine vinegar if you want, but I don't. Use liquid as you are instructed for wine. Good luck! Gina
The reason why dry wine (both red and white) is called for in many recipies is due to a higher level of acid. If you want to subsitute try non sweetened Grape Juice which is found at most markets where healthier alternatives are sold like Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. You might also try substituting un sweetened apple cider or juice or un sweetened cranberry.
Different types of liquor can be substituted for brandy in fruit cake depending on your own taste, and on the sort of fruit used in the cake. Bourbon can be a good substitute, particularly if the cake contains cherries, and almond liquor would be very nice in a fruit cake containing almond.
Recipes using wine might say "optional." You can just leave it out. Generally, it's not much wine and you can use grape juice.
nothing, coz the wine is not necessary for cooking
we do not use it as muslims
real Grape juice or sparkling grape juice. Or you can blender some grapes on your own
chicken, beef or vegetable broth, sparkling water or reg water, Tomato Juice. which ever one will work with your recipe.
Yes but you will change the outcome
You could substitute rice vinegar for cooking sherry. Rice vinegar has a mild, sweet flavor.
No. Cooking wine does not contain vinegar, and would introduce too much salt.
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.
Two different items you will change the outcome of the dish. I would stick to the recipe.
You can use equal parts dry sherry/pale sherry wine; not the cooking wine... the drinking wine. :)
When cooking, rice wine and anisado can be substituted in most recipes. Rice wine usually has a higher alcoholic content than grape wine.
Yes it is like switching form Cabernet to Pinot Noir
Depending on the dish being served, many different other liquids can be used as a substitute for cooking wine. (First of all, if you are using wine in recipes, if it isn't good enough to drink, then it generally shouldn't be used for cooking either.) Water can be used but as it brings no additional flavor to the dish, it is not ideal. However other options could include chicken or vegetable stock, tomato water, or even something like a very mild vinegar can serve as a substitute.
Hi! Boy, it all depends on what you are cooking...If it is meat, then yes, if potato salad, then no.
As long as you pick a wine of similar dryness. Chardonnay is a medium wine (not dry as many people often make the mistake of thinking). Pick an average medium white and it should be fine.
Zinfandel can be substituted for Merlot in either cooking or drinking, although zinfandel has a uniquely discernible taste. There are a number of other red wines that more closely approximate Merlot.
