Re: [Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Hawaiian Chicken Stew with Ginger - 7g Carbs, 2.9g Fiber, 1.8g Sugar

 

Donna, we cook with wine quite often and always keep a good bottle of sherry on hand (you should be able to buy a small bottle at your local liquor store or wine shop for about $4 and that's Alaska prices!) and it stays good for a long time.  While it's not quite the same, you can get decent results with Holland House cooking sherry (should be available in your grocery store since it's salted to prevent drinking) but I would only use about 1/4 cup instead of 1/2 or your dish might be too salty.  If you're a tee-totaler, simply add additional cooking liquid (broth, water, etc.) to make up for the extra volume.  Quite frankly, a splash of sherry is essential to a good clam chowder, French onion soup, beef stroganoff, chicken picatta, steak au poivre, Chinese food as a substitute for shaoshing wine, etc.

any idea what the "tip" is regarding sherry.  I've never used sherry and would like to avoid buying it for one recipe if there is a substitute
