Cooking with vermouth?

[boomchakabowwow]

Okay. I have a few sample of vermouth from my martini development phase. (I’m getting over it)

how can I incorporate it into my cooking. French onion soup?

Good in cream sauces. Waaaaay back when, I worked in a restaurant that did pasta with ham and peas in vermouth cream sauce. It was a good straight down the middle pasta dish, not as heavy as it sounds. The key was to use a very mild ham (nothing overly salty), so the vermouth flavor wasn't overpowered. Parm at the end.

I bet it'd be intersting to use vermouth in...
in place of sherry in spanish recipes
Jerk chicken
Chicken roasted with potatoes, oranges, and herbs
Pork, cherries, vanilla

I second that, I almost always add a splash of vermouth when making alfredo!

Recently my wife made a fantastic pea mayonaise with vermouth. Would need to look into the recipie if you're interested.
Pics of it can be found the the "What's cooking..." thread...

I use it when cooking full flavored fish such as Spanish mackerel

any of the above or use it to deglaze a pan, but first make sure if the stuff is palatable. I recently bought a bottle of Vermouth to use for cooking but it's way too sweet and way to little 'herby' for anything other than donating it to a wino.

I have put in chicken soup on the advice of a friend. Same friend said use barley in chicken soup. It's good adds a nice creamyness to soup
