VERJUS



Verjus image

Verjus is the juice of green grapes that are near ripe! At harvest time, August and September in the northern hemisphere, green grape bunches are quickly snipped for the wine press. Selecting through the collected bunches, only the ripe grapes are chosen for wine. The rejects that are not selected because they are under-ripe are utilised to make verjus, which is a fruity, somewhat vinegary juice, perfect for sauces. Verjus has a distinct flavor. You can choose to snip under-ripe grapes with the express desire to make verjus, and the effort is worth it. You will find recipes for chicken, fish and pork cooked with verjus. Verjuice, by contrast, can be made up from a variety of fruits. Verjus is made only from green grapes.

Categories     Sauces

Time 30m

Yield 2-40 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 bunches green grapes, minimum
1 bunch grapes

Steps:

  • Use at least 3 bunches of under ripe grapes. You could make bushel fulls, too!
  • Press the juice out of the grapes, using your fingers, or by crushing the bunches with bricks, or by using a wine press.
  • A wine press is a small barrell with a weighted lid on a substantial screw that winds down, down, down on the grapes. The liquid pours out of a spigot low on the barrel.
  • Strain and filter the juice, discarding the skins and seeds. Strain with muslin, a jelly bag, coffee filters, anything that will work to produce a clear liquid.
  • If you make a small quantity, use within 4 or 5 days. A larger quantity should be bottled and sterilized, or put in jars and sterilized.
  • The formatting of this recipe required me to give a minimum 2 ingredients, so I entered bunches of grapes twice!

POULET AU VERJUS - CHICKEN WITH VERJUS



Poulet Au Verjus - Chicken With Verjus image

This can be eaten all year, because you can bottle the juice of green grapes! If you want your ingredients fresh, this is a dish you make in August or September in the northern hemisphere, just before the green grapes ripen to sweetness. The unripe grapes are often rejects from the ripe grapes selected for wine making. Use 1 whole chicken, cut in pieces, or use breasts, legs, and/or thighs. (Make a verjus quantity from at least 3 bunches of unripe green grapes. Make plenty, and conserve it! recipe#240375 is made from grapes. Verjuice can be made from a variety of nearly ripe fruits.)

Provided by Mme M

Categories     Poultry

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 whole chicken, cut in pieces
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 chicken bouillon cube
1/2 cup water
1 cup verjus (To make the verjus, 3 bunches green grapes, firm and not quite ripe)
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
salt, pepper
3 tablespoons chopped parsley

Steps:

  • First, make verjus:.
  • Pull the grapes away from their stems, then press them, extracting as much of the juice as possible. Filter this juice through muslin, a jelly bag, or use coffee filter paper. Bottle this and sterilize it, or freeze some in ice cube trays. Or use it up within the next few days.
  • Brown the chicken cut in pieces for a good ten minutes.
  • Add the chopped garlic and cook briefly.
  • Pour in a large glass of verjus, and some chicken stock made with 1/2 cube 1/2 cup of hot water.
  • Add the chopped parsley.
  • Cook over low heat for 20 minutes, partially covered until towards the end, when you take the cover off.
  • Use more verjus, if you want. It is a pleasant, fruity taste with a tart, vinegary quality.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes or Sarlat Potatoes, recipe#209855, fresh green beans, or other summer fare.

  • Take most of the stems off the grapes. This will take some time, maybe an hour or so. Longer if you've never done it before. But if you don't do this part, you will have a tough time running the grapes through the food mill.
  • Grind the grapes through a coarse die on your meat grinder. Sadly, the Kitchenaid attachment isn't strong enough for this task, so you need a real grinder. I use a 7 mm die -- large enough to let the seeds get through (you don't want to crush them) and small enough to grind even small grapes. If you have the meat grinder, this process takes only a couple minutes. If you don't, you can use a food mill fitted with a coarse plate. This is a distant second and will require a little elbow grease.
  • As you get a slurry of ground-up grapes and grape juice, pour it into a bowl as you work. You will need to work quickly, as the grape juice will oxidize and turn brown. There is really no getting over this, but the faster you work the greener -- or at least more golden -- your verjus will be. Work slow and it will look like malt vinegar.
  • Now you need to run the ground grapes through a fine mesh sieve. If you have rubber gloves, put them on. Why? The acid in these grapes made my hands sting for a couple hours after I squeezed the ground-up grapes over the sieve. And yes, you need to squeeze your grapes because you really want as much liquid as you can extract.
