Cooking With Wine 101

by Caroline_Silverstone

Many people are intimidated by the idea of cooking with wine. It
sounds a little too fancy or even gourmet (that’s Greek for
complicated). Maybe they are feeding a family and don’t like the
idea of serving the little ones something with wine in it.
However, often it is just a case of people not knowing how to
cook with wine. It really is very simple and can be incorporated
into anyone’s recipes.

Some of the advantages of cooking with wine include:

- very little makes a huge difference to the flavor and aroma of
your dishes
- it instantly produces a richer, more complex taste to recipes
- you can easily experiment with it for different results
- if you choose to replace it in a recipe, it can be easily done
with chicken, beef or vegetable broth

The first step for beginners wishing to cook with wine is to try
adding it to spaghetti sauces. Red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon,
Shiraz, Bordeaux and Merlot are wonderful in spaghetti sauces
that are vegetarian or beef based. If the sauce is being served
over chicken or is made with ground poultry, white wine works
better. Even as little as 1/3 of a cup of wine adds a rich flavor
to the entire batch of sauce that will cause people to come back
for it time and again.

Another great and easy way to incorporate wine into your cooking
is to create a sauce from the little bits of food left in the
frying pan after frying meats. You simply pour in wine and gently
scrape the pan as it cooks on the stove. This is actually a real
cooking technique called deglazing. It makes a fantastic rich
sauce to pour over vegetables or meat. An added bonus is your pan
will also be easier to clean afterwards.

If you are cooking in the slow cooker or baking in the oven, you
always need to add liquid. Wine is the perfect cooking liquid. It
adds flavor and richness. White wine adds an irresistible
intensity to fish baked in it. Red wine is wonderful to add to
the slow cooker with a roast or in beef stew.

As you get bolder with your use of wine in cooking, explore some
different recipes using it. They are very easy to find. Just a
simple online search will provide you with numerous recipes.
There are soups, desserts, main dishes, pastas, appetizers and
more that feature any of a variety of wines in their ingredient
list.

So remember to keep at least one red and one white wine on hand
to give a little extra flavor to the dishes you prepare. Even
inexpensive wines will add a little extra je-ne-sais-quoi in your
food. (That’s French for yummy)

An important point to remember for anyone who brings it up, is
that the alcohol in the wine burns off in the cooking process,
leaving you with flavor and no intoxicating effects. It also
doesn’t add any extra fat to the meals you are preparing. You
will astound your friends with how sophisticated your cooking has
become because of the great results wine produces in even every
day dishes.
