Last night, as I was preparing dinner, I
discovered, well into the cooking process, that
I needed lemon juice and did not have a single
drop of lemon juice in the house.

I didn't need much and I really, really did
not want to go to the store for one little lemon.
I referenced my food substitutions book and found
that white wine, in an equal amount, is an acceptable
replacement for lemon juice. Apparently, this is
common knowledge for some but I never knew
it until yesterday.

So I tried a Pinot Grigio in my recipe and it worked great!
Cheers!
Hmmmmmm, wine or lemon juice? I think I'll take the wine, thank you!
ReplyDeleteGreat tip, Holly, I never knew that. I've always heard to sub a little vinegar for lemon juice because it's acidic. Wine sounds better to me!
See, I've done the reverse. LOL
ReplyDeleteWhen no whine, chose lemon juice!
