It's #NationalRedWineDay, and we are celebrating with 14 boozy recipes. If you are like me, you take any opportunity to cook or bake with alcohol. Cooking with wine is the perfect way to bring a subtle flavor and a new level of complexity to any dish. I do it all of the time. In fact, any time a savory recipe calls for water, add wine instead. Today's recipe roundup features, sweet and savory dishes that promise to impress your guests and tantalize your tastebuds.
So pop a cork and get cooking!
Red Wine Cherry Tomato
Crostini is simply chic. I have noticed that men especially enjoy them. The tomatoes have been roasted with a dash of balsamic for tang, and a good helping of red wine for acidity. The result is some serious flavor.
Short Rib Meatballs With Red
Wine Sauce
Just when I thought you couldn't improve upon the classic meatball, this recipe comes into our lives. The ground short ribs add the richness.
Smoked Ancho Chile Salted Steaks With Drunken Burst Cherries + Burrata
Isn't this an interesting combination? The wine comes in with the drunken cherries. The best news, this recipe works with any cut of steak.
Red Wine Chocolate Snack Cake
I looked at quite a few red wine cake recipes for this post. This one stood out to me. It had me at the word "snack." Sometimes you just need a bite of chocolate and a sip of wine to get you through the day. The ganache topping with flaky sea salt must be everything!
Red Wine–Dijon Vinaigrette
One of the things I love to make is a good vinaigrette. The sky is the limit as to the flavors you can create. The red wine used in this dressing has been reduced on the stove. How interesting!
Turkey Sliders With Red Wine Caramelized Onions & Goat Cheese
I love a good turkey burger. This recipe has all of the extras one could want. The red wine caramelized onions are the big stars here. I can only imagine the depth of flavors! By the way, this recipe calls for ground turkey breast.
Looks fab!
Sangria Cupcakes
I am not sure if I would take a sip of wine or a bite of the cupcake first. This is a real grown up treat. The cupcakes are made with fruit in the batter and frosted with a red wine buttercream. Imagine licking that bowl!
Read Wine Steak Marinade
I recently marinated a grass fed strip steak. It was my first time, and it won't be my last. Fabulous! My marinade had no recipe but it did have red wine in it.
Try it!
Ratatouille Tart
A good way to use up all of the Summer produce. This beautiful tart would make for a lovely lunch!
Strawberry Red Wine Sorbet
Isn't this the most luscious looking sorbet? I make ice cream weekly, but have never made sorbet. This recipe looks like it would be worth the effort.
Red Wine + Goat Cheese Risotto with Caramelized Mushrooms
This is one of my very favorites of this recipe roundup. Maybe it is because I love every element of this dish. Making risotto is good for the soul, and a test of your patience, for sure.
Red Wine Portobello Burger With "Mozzarella" {Vegan}
Picture proof that you don't need meat to make a hearty burger. This recipe is said to be slightly smoky and just a
little bit spicy.
Red Wine Ice Cream Float
Crazy easy to make, and an elegant ending to a beautiful meal. Only three ingredients needed for this unique cocktail/dessert.
Sticky Red Wine Glazed Wings
My record of never having had wings is still intact. However, even I have to admit that these look good. They are said to be sweet, savory, and boozy! Now that's a tasty trio.
