What can I make for dinner that's got white wine in it?

Question

I love cooking with white wine, but always tend to go for creamy white wine stuff.. but getting bored with that so what else can I cook?

Answer 1

I love to make a wine sauce for my steak and pork chops. It isn't creamy though.

After cooking your steaks, set them aside, and to the pan drippings add 2T butter, 1 tsp fennel seeds, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, a little salt and pepper, and 1 cup wine...(red for steak and white for pork, just because red wine turns porkchops purple). Let simmer til it reduces and thickens a little. Return steaks to pan and simmer for another minute or two.

I also like the recipe that comes on the back of the bag of Colavita brand Orrechiette pasta. Basically cook the pasta, add blanched broccoli, chopped green olives, olive oil, parmesean cheese, and about 1/2 to 1 cup white wine. Saute it. The wine flavor isn't really pronounced, but I love the recipe.

Also, Jeff Smith (the pedophile chef who got kicked off PBS) had a good book called "The Frugal Gourmet Cooks with Wine". Tons of great wine recipes. Try to get it cheap on ebay. Don't buy it at a store.

Answer 3

Beef brisket is slowly braised with vegetables, wine, and spices for a classic dish. Don't skip the juniper berries. They lend a lot of flavor.
INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon oil
2 pounds beef brisket
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 medium onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 medium tomatoes, coarsely chopped
4 carrots, peeled
4 medium parsnips, peeled
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 bay leaf
12 juniper berries, crushed (optional - see Notes)
PREPARATION:
Heat oven to 225 degrees F.

Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium high heat. Season brisket with salt and pepper and then sear (cook over high heat to brown the exterior) on both sides in pan.

Remove brisket, turn heat to high and add white wine. With a wooden spoon, scrape bottom of pan and reduce wine for 1 minute. Add onion and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.

Return brisket to pan with tomatoes, carrots, parsnips, chicken stock, water, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, and juniper berries. Bring to a simmer.

Cover, place in oven and cook for about 2-1/2 to 3 hours, or until meat is tender (about 145 degrees internal temperature). Discard bay leaf.

Remove brisket and slice against the grain into thin slices. Arrange on plates with carrots and parsnips, adding broth to each serving.
4 to 6 servings

Notes: Although the juniper berries are listed as an optional ingredient, do use them if you can. They lend a lot of flavor. To crush them, place them in a small plastic storage bag, place the bag on a cutting surface, and smash with a meat pounder or the bottom of a skillet or saucepan. If you cannot find brisket, use any good chuck roast such as a 'Top Blade' roast.

Answer 6

You can carmeilize garlic/onions/shallots/celery in a white wine and use that reduction to spead over any kind of protein. I use it all the time with fish. Of course I add a little dill and parsley too. But it all depends on your tastes.

Answer 7

Chicken or veal piccata with capers? I think even Steak Oscar or Steak DeBurgo uses white wine. And they're not creamy.

Answer 8

There is this seafood dish that I love... tomato based with white wine, basil, garlic... fresh mussels and freshly squeezed lemon all over it. It's awesome if you have a baguette to dip into the sauce.
