Sherry Wine Vinegar Views
I am making a skirt steak with chimmichirri sauce and the recipe calls for sherry wine vinegar. Not much, about 2/3 cup, but I don't have the SW vinegar, instead I have Sherry cooking wine. Will it come out the same? Or should I add some regualr vinegar to it. I just don't feel like running back out to the supermarket. Especially since today is Sunday and it will be a zoo!
Cream sherries are awfully sweet for savoury cooking and would make a terrible substitute for sherry vinegar. Next time buy a fino, which also makes a workable substitute for Chinese cooking wine. Tio Pepe is excellent, widely available and affordable and it comes in half bottles. It's also fine for sipping on its own, provided you like the style.
If I'm guessing correctly you are using a recipie from Emeril at Food Network. You can substitute balsamic vinegar instead of sherry wine vinegar or red wine vinegar (but you may want to add a pinch or two of sugar). I made this recipie a week or two ago and I thought the balsamic vinegar worked just fine.
Sherry vinegar (Spanish: vinagre de Jerez) is a gourmet wine vinegar made from Sherry. It is produced in the Spanish province of Cádiz and inside the triangular area between the city of Jerez de la Frontera and towns of Sanlúcar de Barrameda and El Puerto de Santa María, known as the sherry triangle .
