Want to know how to substitute vinegar in a recipe you're making to do ?
It's true that you don't necessarily have the right vinegar in your cupboards...
Especially since there are lots of different ones:rice, raspberry, cider or balsamic vinegar...
Fortunately, there are easy tricks to replace any vinegar in a recipe and thus finish it quietly.
Here are 11 ways to replace any vinegar in your recipes . Watch:
Often used in Asian recipes, rice vinegar lends a sweet, mild taste to salad dressings, marinades, and stir-fries of meats or vegetables.
Replace 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar with:
- 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar + 1/4 teaspoon of sugar, or
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar + 1/4 teaspoon sugar.
This vinegar gives punch to your recipes in addition to a super fruity taste. In addition, apple cider vinegar is known for its many health benefits. It can be used in marinades, smoothies, infusions, dressings or sauces.
Replace 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with:
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice,
- a tablespoon of lime juice,
- 2 tablespoons of white wine.
These substitutes don't offer the same health benefits, but they do come pretty close to the flavor you're looking for in recipes.
Balsamic vinegar is a luxurious product that imparts a rich, sweet, yet slightly acidic flavor to salad dressings, glazes, and sauces. Because it is aged like wine, it is often more expensive than other types of vinegar.
Replace 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar with:
- 1 tablespoon of brown rice vinegar or Chinese black vinegar.
- a mixture of cider vinegar or red wine + honey.
Champagne vinegar brings a very lively flavor to foods, without being acidic. It is used to enhance sauces, meat marinades or vinaigrettes. Its taste being very mild, it is important to choose a substitute with a mild flavor as well. Because most vinegars can have a taste that overrides other flavors.
Replace 1 tablespoon of Champagne vinegar with:
- a tablespoon of white wine vinegar or red wine vinegar
- a little white wine is another possibility.
Red wine vinegar is a basic ingredient for salad dressings and goes very well with meats for marinades.
Replace 1 tablespoon of red wine with:
- equal parts white vinegar and red wine.
- or a mixture of grape juice and white vinegar (for those who avoid alcohol)
Like white wine vinegar, white wine vinegar adds a nice touch of acidity to salad dressings, meat marinades and sauces.
Replace 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar with:
- a tablespoon of rice vinegar,
- or a tablespoon of white wine.
White vinegar draws its reputation from its cleaning power, but in the kitchen, it also brings a little acidity to salads (especially coleslaw), barbecue sauce, pickled vegetables...
If you're going to make pickles, stick with white vinegar, even if it means going to the store to buy some. White vinegar is the only one to bring this acidity to vegetables and this long-term preservation.
Otherwise, replace 1 tablespoon of white vinegar with:
- a tablespoon of lemon juice or lime juice,
- a tablespoon of cider vinegar or malt vinegar.
Malt vinegar is a perfect condiment for fish and chips. It is especially tasty in sweet and sour marinades, chutneys and pickles.
Replace 1 tablespoon of malt vinegar with:
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- or 1 tablespoon of cider vinegar.
Sherry vinegar makes a tasty marinade for meat or fish and pairs particularly well with chicken and herb flavorings.
Replace 1 tablespoon of sherry vinegar with:
- a tablespoon of red or white wine.
Recipes often call for a vinegar flavored with herbs such as tarragon, rosemary or thyme. This vinegar is perfect in salad dressings, but simply in all your recipes.
Replace 1 tbsp herb flavored vinegar with:
- a tablespoon of wine vinegar,
- a tablespoon of rice vinegar or cider vinegar
And add the fresh aromatic herbs of your choice.
Once popular for adding a little sweetness to vinaigrettes, marinades or roasts, raspberry vinegar is used a little less today, and that's a shame!
Replace 1 tablespoon of raspberry vinegar with:
- a tablespoon of sherry vinegar.
