One of my favourite ingredients was mentioned in the Seared Scallops thread and I think it deserves a thread of its own.
I always have a bottle of Verjuice in my fridge and often use it instead of white wine in risotto. Jenjen mentioned using it to deglaze a pan.

Ok, now I'm envious. Verjuice doesn't seem to be available here. What exactly is the contemporary product you're using? I know that historically, verjuice has been described as the juice of unripe grapes. Is that it? I wish I could get my hands on some of it to experiment! |

brighidsdaughter, here in Adelaide we can buy several brands of verjuice all the time. Perhaps the best-known and most popular is Maggie Beer's Verjuice, which comes from the Barossa Valley north of Adelaide. That link also gives some recipes and serving suggestions.
I have also used verjuice made by other local wineries.
Good luck finding some, it's a worthwhile search. _________________ Doing what you like is freedom

If your are in a wine producing area check with the wineries cellar door. They often have their own brand of verjuice. _________________ Barbara |
