When alcohol is used in a recipe, it is generally used for one of two reasons; as a flavor enhancer in cooking, or as a meat tenderizer in marinades. A variety of other foods do have the same properties as alcohol in cooking and marinating and can be easily substituted in any recipe. Here are a few suggestions:
- MARINADES: Substitute for 1 cup of alcohol with:
- 1 cup of citrus juice, Lemonade, Pineapple or Orange Juice.
- 1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice or orange juice.
- 1 cup of tomato juice diluted by 1/4 with water or vinegar.
- 1/2 cup of light soy sauce and 1/2 cup of citrus juice.
- 1/2 cup of light soy sauce and 2 TBLS of oil.
- 1 cup of teriyaki sauce
- 1/3 cup of balsamic vinegar
- FOR COOKING:
- Non-alcoholic cooking sherry
- Non-alcoholic cooking wine
- Raspberry extract (instead of Brandy)
- Or you can burn the alcohol out of the liquor by heating the liquor in a pan and carefully lighting a match.
