Wine for cooking
« on: November 20, 2015, 02:23:45 pm »
I BQEED some pork chops yesterday turned out reasonably well, but it seems that wine added to any meat sure seems to bring out the flavors.  Olive oil helps to keep things moist also.   Thats my 2 bits.

I agree with the Olive oil (EVOO) - try Lea & Perrins also - GREAT stuff ! Bob

When I slow cook a Boston Butt I sometimes add a pale ale along with the aromatic vegs and dry rub  Because of it's acidity wine makes a good base for a marinade.

A nice Merlot for beef or venison in the marinade... 1-1-1 ratio... 1 for the marinade 1 for the cook 1 for dining.. Ms Kerrie prefers chardonay.. Adjust for other guests ;)

In my professional cooking days I was always told to cook with wine that I would also drink. that doesn't take a whole lot off the table for me, but it seems to work.

I made pork chops awhile back and cooked them in Kahlua, turned out pretty good.
