Verjus, the juice from unripe Cabernet grapes, has the tartness of lemon juice and the acidity of vinegar without the harshness of either.
Since before the Middle Ages, verjus had been used for 800 years throughout Europe in cooking and as a cure for indigestion. Known as the “mother of all sauces”, verjus, is used in salad dressings, sauces, soups, and marinades to compliment seafood, fowl, red meats, vegetables, desserts.
Recipes can be easily found on the Internet (Keyword ‘verjus’).
