cooking in wine

I am no more eating non veg for 8 years but when I did I have eaten chicken cooked in wine. Most French and Italians cooks prepare it with red wine. This has altogether different from our style of chicken as they use lots of different ingredients including garlic, shallots and red wine and put it in microwave. That sounds great but tastes .....I would not mention it. :woohoo:

Actually using wine in cooking gives some dishes a very delicious taste. Although I don't eat non-veg I have tasted chicken cooked in wine once and it was definitely tasty. Other that that, I love to eat the brandy and rum-infused cakes that you get around Christmas. They are certainly yummy and addictive!

This is first time I am hearing that cooking is possible in wine specially chiken. Is it tasty or not?

I had seen lots of Varieties cooked in Wine on TLC. May be some different flavor is generated, by adding wine in the food.

In food we can use white wine which really gives a good taste and a good smell in the food.I never tried so but I have heard from one of my friend that if we add little bit of white wine in fish or chicken its taste really turned awesome.

Generally, we use oil/ refined oil for cooking. How is cooking in wine? I heard that chicken is also cooked in whiskey or rum. Has anyone ever taken such dish. If so, please share experience.

I too use red wine for a dish made with mutton and white wine for chicken.It is very tasty,I dont eat meat,but taste the gravy and it is good. Here in Mangalore we also use a locally made toddy called neera for cooking pork .Neera is also used for fermenting dough while making aappams, which are like dosas..

Yes sunil, it is toddy made from a special kind of palm tree, we have one at home :P , a very old one ! It is a very decorative tree and cutting it would be a great problem since you need to get the proper licence to do it...

But that is for all the grown up trees if you have to cut them you have to take permission from forest department especially fruit trees.

Yes thats true, you cannot cut any tree without a licence and some trees are even more difficult to cut like this toddy palm..
In Mangalore a local wine is made mostly by the catholic community which is a blend of red/black grapes and cashew fruits - a cross between feni and wine which has a sharp taste but nice ! It is extensively used by them while cooking pork,beef and other meat like rabbit and wild boar ..

I have heard that if meat is soaked in wine for sometime before cooking it becomes tender and also acquire a special taste. But I am hearing for the first time that wine can be used in place of cooking oil. So how do you use the wine? I mean don't you add oil at all??

Jabeen, I do use some oil and butter for frying the onions and spices and add wine later on while the meat is cooking.As you say the chicken is soaked in wine and herbs and later cooked with the spices ..

Wow you use Neera for cooking? I love Neera a lot, we get it here during the summer months and it is very much sweet and naturally cooling.

WIth out wine there are no cooking in some countries as it is one main part of their cooking.

yes, sasikanth, most of the continental dishes are prepared using wine.

They cannot live with out that wine they will get the taste if wine is not added to their foods.

I have seen in Fox Travellers a cooking show where a chef has cooked beef using wine. Chicken and mutton are also cooked in wine and sometimes fish. I have never experienced that. We live in India where winter season is not so cold compared to the western countries, claded with snow throughout the year .
