Shirley I sometimes cook with Vermouth.. I just ''eye-ball'' it. Just use a nice wine. I would start with less than you think you need -- you can always add more.. Your taste buds will let you know!!

I'm not sure this will get through because I am new to the ground and don't quite understand about this signing up thing. Oh well, here goes. This is an excellent stew recipe. You basically make a rich onion soup as the base. grandmagrandma

BEEF STEW ****
3 lb. Stew meat
6 T shortening
2 medium onions
4 cups water
1 cup red wine
2 bouillon cubes
1 clove garlic
Parsley
1 bay leaf
Dash thyme
1 ½ T salt
¼ t pepper

6 medium potatoes
6 medium carrots
10 small white onions
3 stalks celery
2 green peppers
2 medium tomatoes

Dredge meat in flour and brown. Add chopped onions and cook till tender. Add water, wine, bouillon, garlic, parsley, bay leaf, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook till meat is tender. Add potatoes, carrots, onions and celery. Last 15 minutes add green pepper and tomato.

Beef Bourguignon!
I love to cook with wines, vermouths, liqueurs, everything! (I think I like to sip it while I cook, to be trughful!)
Any Beef Bouruignon is a flavourful, hearty beef stew, with onions and bacon, and -- ov course -- red wine.
Beef Carbonade is another, but it generally uses beer; HOWEVER, you can replace the beer with red wine, and it changes the flavours completely!
Shirleyoma, I have savoury recipes for both, crockpot recipes, tons to chose from - let me know if there is something in particular you'd like me to post - but right now, if I don't go get some groceries, we won't be eating tonight! lol :) :)
BTW, you can replace the beef broth (or part of it, anyway) in any beef stew recipe. You might have to add more spices or herbs to compensate for the stronger flavour of the wine, though. It's a taste thing.
Hope this helps :)

Shirley, I always cook with wine, sometimes it makes into the dish!
Beef Bourgignonne is a classic beef and red wine preparation. First stew I learned to cook, made for my own mom for mother's day. Used the recipe from her Encylopedia of cooking.

I keep white vermouth in the pantry at all times, as well as marsala wine. Vermouth keeps forever, it doesn't turn to vinegar and a splash or two to deglaze the drippings in any pan will add so much flavor to the dish. I also keep sherry on hand, particularly for a crab bisque or seafood soup. Sherry adds a great nuance to black bean soups, too. My mom always added a generous splash just before serving her bean soup and it added so much to the dish, you would swoon. Marsala is fortified and lasts a long time too. Turkey medallions with mushrooms and marsala is so simple to make and very very delicious. (Way cheaper than veal marsala, too)

Toodles, Notcho

Vermouth
A trick learned from Julia Child. Vermouth doesn't spoil and when you don't buy or drink a white wine, vermouth will sub in just about any recipe that calls for a white wine.

I use it when I saute chicken in some olive oil, remove the chicken, add some vermouth to the hot pan, stir like crazy and add some capers and put the chicken back in the pan with a little extra broth. Quick and easy.

I also, use this with 4 thick fish fillets floured with seasoned flour pan fried in olive oil, splash of vermouth right over the fish, add a few chopped shallots, a can of chopped tomatoes. Done when tomatoes are hot and the fish flakes. Easy fish on a plate super fast and delicious. Lemon garnish.

Turkey cutlets, floured, sauteed, remove, keep warm, add marsala and a lb. of sliced mushrooms, salt and pepper, add turkey back in the pan and cook until mushrooms are limp and cooked.

Aw, bless that heavenly instinct! I have to laugh because my Mema hardly ever drank and one year she decided to have a Pink Lady before our Thanksgiving Dinner and bless her heart, in the middle of dinner, she took a nose dive into the mashed potatoes. Apparently a Pink Lady doesn't mean a nice lady who volunteers at the hospital guild.
Pink Lady
1 ounces Gin
1 teaspoon Grenadine
1 teaspoon Light Cream
1 whole Egg White
Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.
