Hi, i'm making a vegetarian sort of stew in the slow cooker and it requires 1 cup of red wine.Q is what could I use in place of Red Wine as I don't have any in the house.Thanks.

grape juice, apple juice, chicken stock

Some red wine vinegar,

Old Dallie recipe is to use Malt Vinegar and sugar to sweeten the vinegar.Put in sugar to taste and you have "red wine"

Beef Stock?

Can make your own vegetarian chicken-like stock easy enough.

Poster # 1 is a vegetarian!

It is a pity that most cooks these days rely heavily on pre-processed foods. In the summer glut I picked a lot of stock vegetables and fresh herbs, diced them up and dehydrated them. I then whizzed them in my processor till they were quite small. It is difficult to exactly reproduce the fine powder that is the processed product but the end product was so much more tasty than any artificially flavoured and chemically enhanced with hard to digest, processed starches and sugar stock I have ever tasted and I knew what was in it. If you wanted you could add some brewer's yeast.

I just stored my homemade 'stock' in small jars in the fridge and now that it is all used up I wish I'd made more.
