  • Cooking with Verjuice
    Cooking with Verjuice Tallagandra Hill Wines 1692 Murrumbateman Road Gundaroo NSW 2620 www.tallagandrahill.com.au Verjuice Verjuice is derived from the French for green juice, "vert jus". Historically it is found in French recipes from the Middle Ages .It was added as we would use lemon juice or vinegar today, as an acidulant adding sharpness to the flavour of food , sauces or a dressing. Think of Verjuice as a gentle acidulant. Its great advantage is adding acid without dominating flavours. It is like a lemon or wine vinegar but can be used in almost any application that these stronger flavours are used. Verjuice can be reduced to a syrup to replace wine or vinegar in the making of a hollandaise or beurre blanc to give a classic sauce another dimension, particularly when serving these sauces with seafood. It is a natural marriage of flavours. Tallagandra Hill Verjuice Made from unripened Shiraz grapes, the juice is stabilised and bottled without fermentation. Available in 375ml bottles from the Tallagandra Hill Cellar Door or by mail order.

    Recipes for Zesty Blue Cheese and IPA Dipping Sauce, and Witty Cilantro Mussels reprinted with permission from “Beer or Wine? - Great Food Pairings from Burgers to Brie.” by Sam Calagione (forthcoming, Penguin/DK, April 2008) ************* Zesty Blue Cheese and IPA Dipping Sauce The subtle bitterness of the hops in the IPA comes forward in the cooking process and complements the sharp cheese flavors to give the sauce a zesty bite. Ingredients 2 ounces (55 g) butter 5 tablespoons (40 g) flour 6 ounces (175 ml) IPA (room temperature and flat) 2/3 cup (158 ml) half-and-half (room temperature) 1/2 cup (80 g) chopped fresh chives 2 tablespoons (30 g) Dijon mustard 8 ounces (115 g) cream cheese 12 ounces (180 g) crumbled bleu cheese 8 ounces (115 g) shredded cheddar cheese 20 hard breadsticks Process 1. In a large sauté pan, melt the butter until simmering then add the flour and stir. 2. Add the IPA and half-and-half and stir while simmering for 3 minutes. 3. Add the chopped chives, Dijon mustard, and cream cheese and continue stirring while simmering for 1 minute. 4. As you add the chunks of bleu cheese and cheddar a few ounces (grams) at a time, continue to stir. Wait until each addition of cheese melts into the sauce before making the next addition. 5. After the last cheese addition is fully melted, shut off heat source and transfer sauce into a mixing bowl. Each guest gets five breadsticks for dipping and a pint of hearty, hoppy IPA.
