On Milk Street Radio, I am often asked for a good substitute for wine in cooking. Verjus is a decent alternative since it is the pressed juice of unripened grapes. (It comes from the French, “vert jus,” which means green juice.) Neither fermented nor alcoholic, it provides a light acidity that won't interfere with the flavor of the wine you're serving with your meal, which vinegars can sometimes do—verjus can also be used in place of wine vinegar in recipes. Our kitchen especially likes this version made on a family farm in Oregon’s pinot noir region for its bright flavor with hints of grape, apple and berry. Use Noble Handcrafted Verjus with lighter meats such as chicken or fish; I also use it to deglaze the pan with verjus after sautéing pork.
Not sure how you’d use it?
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
HOW TO USE
Use this acidic and fruity Verju in place of both wine and wine vinegars in a recipe, be it a finishing dash or for deglazing a roasting pan. The fruitiness and subtle sweetness of the grape flavor also make it a great substitute for citrus juice in dressings and marinades. To really let it shine, try Noble Handcrafted Verjus with lighter meats such as chicken or fish.
Kitchen Notes
While Verju lacks the complexity of fermentation, it makes a teriffic non-alcoholic substitute for wine.
