Please give me your favorite recipes with wine in them

Hi gloriajean,

What kind of wine?

I typically pour a splash into anything that calls for liquid.

I like to braise short ribs in merlot and beef stock.

I like to sautee spinach or kale in olive oil, garlic and white wine.

Can you use it in casseroles? I know it's good in the meat loaf recipe I'm making again. Red Wines, like Cab or Pina - about how much do you put in foods? 1/4 cup? That's what my meat loaf recipe calls for.

Sauteeing spinach or kale in olive oil (think I'll be using coconut oil) sounds great as I have lots of kale growing in the garden. Only I'd be using red wine.

That's the fun thing about wine: you can't go wrong (unless you put it in oatmeal).

Play around and have fun! Just make sure you use a wine you like to drink.

For anything that I braise, I use a cup of wine, at least. I also reduce the amount of stock that I use by as much.

If it's something I am sauteing, I go with a tablespoon or two.

This is one of my favorites, from this very forum!

(I reduced the amount of wine and subbed some chicken broth because it was a bit TOO much wine taste for me.)

CREAMY CHARDONNAY SHRIMP

From:

DiAnne

2 cups chardonnay

2 shallots, minced

3 T butter

Salt to taste

1/4 t cayenne or to taste

1-1/2 to 2 pounds large shrimp

1/2 cup heavy cream

Chopped parsley for garnish

Combine wine, shallots, 2 T butter, large pinch of salt and cayenne pepper in a large skillet. Bring to boil over high heat. Turn heat down and simmer until wine is reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes.

While sauce reduces peel and butterfly shrimp.

When sauce is reduced add shrimp to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Stir in remaining butter and cream. Stir until heated through. Add more salt and cayenne if needed. Divide shrimp among plates, spoon sauce over top, garnish with parsley and serve.

I served this over spinach linguine noodles but could also serve over rice or spinach.

And me!

I never waste wine by putting it in food.
