white wine & clams
What are some good, easy recipes that call for white wine?
I have so many bottles of white wine I don’t know what to do with it all. My husband buys me wine all the time, but I hardly ever drink wine…I think he’s just trying to get me drunk so he can take advantage of me =) Anyways, I love to cook, so I thought I could use the wine in some of my cooking. What are some good recipes that call for white wine?
Are your wines sweet white wines (Reisling, Gewurtztraminer, etc.) or dry white wines (Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, etc.)? Sweet wines work best for desserts, for instance making a sauce to pour over baked or poached pears (1/2 a bottle of wine; 1/2 a cup of sugar; maybe a pinch of cardommam or carraway for interest. Bring to a boil and let it reduce by about half; it will thicken as it cools.)
Dry white wines can be used quite nicely to make sauces for chicken or fish (Coq au vin generally calls for rec wine, but I’ve used white wine and it worked well.) Brown some floured boneless chicken breasts in oil in a non-stick pan (preferrably Olive oil. A few tablespoons should do.) When the chicken is done, remove it from the oil, throw in some chopped onions or sliced mushrooms, or both; pour in some white wine (carefully, as it tends to flame upif the flame is still on. The flames will go out quickly though.) Bring to a boil and reduce by about half. Sprinkle some grated swiss or jack cheese on chicken breasts, pour sauce over. Great! You can do the same for fish, but I’d probably leave out the cheese and maybe add some Lemon Pepper.
Good luck and good cooking.
