What is the difference between using vermouth and white wine in cooking?We Answered:
I tend to use vermouth in cooking because I always have a bottle on hand (mainly for cooking). I don't always have wine on hand ... because I drink it.Vermouth is a fortified white wine, flavored with aromatic herbs and spices ("aromatized" in the trade) such as cardamom, cinnamon, marjoram and chamomile. It has a different depth of flavor than white wine (especially among the different white wine grapes). I find the flavor of vermouth to be clean, and not bitter (though there is absolutely nothing wrong with "bitter", but that's a rant for another time).
I think you'll fall in love with using vermouth and find that it won't turn your entire dish bitter and that it will add a nice clean yet complex flavor profile to your dishes.

Sweet Vermouth Chicken, adapted from Cooking Light Magazine
Ingredients:

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 cup dried porcini mushrooms, reconstituted
1/2 cup fresh pearl onions, peeled
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sweet vermouth
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 1/2 tsp. chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon
1/8 cup dried cranberries
Preheat oven to 350°
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle chicken with about half each of salt and pepper. Add half of chicken to pan, and cook 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Place on a jelly-roll pan coated with cooking spray. Repeat procedure with remaining chicken. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until chicken is done, but still tender and juicy.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add mushrooms, onions, and garlic to pan. Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture, and cook for 2 minutes or until flour is lightly browned, stirring constantly.

Reduce heat, and simmer until sauce is reduced to 1 cup (about 10 minutes). Add cranberries to pan, and cook for 2 minutes.

Vermouth fish recipe question.?We Answered:
Cook with whatever alcohol/wine you like the taste of. If you prefer dry, exchange the sweet for dry. You can use vermouth as a sub for white wine for most recipes.Gabriel Said:

What kind of vermouth....sweet or dry? Sweet vermouth has a very specific taste. However, if you must substitute, try a sweet red wine. If it calls for dry vermouth try a Chablis, it may pass.Good luck!
