What dishes would you recommend with red wines?

Question

i have a few bottles of red wine that i want to use for our family dinners this week. i usually spend my sunday doing meal prep so i can have the fridge organized for the rest of the days. it makes things easier when its all in containers and ready to go. i was looking for advice on what dishes would you recommend with red wines because i want to make sure the food is simple and filling. i like homestyle dishes like a beef stew or a roast that can be frozen if there are leftovers. if you can give some ideas for food that turned out fine for you i would appreciate it. i like when its explained clearly so i can follow the steps without any fuss. i am sure your going to have some good suggestions for me.

Answer 1

Hello Susan. For red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, homestyle beef stews and pot roasts are indeed fantastic choices because they hold up well to the tannins and freeze beautifully for weekly meal prep.

To make a classic beef stew, sear chuck roast pieces until browned, add garlic, onions, carrots, and a splash of your red wine alongside beef broth, then let it simmer low and slow until tender. Once cooled completely, you can portion it into airtight containers for the freezer.

Another great option is a slow-roasted pot roast with root vegetables. Both dishes taste even better after the flavors meld together during storage.

Answer 2

A good beef roast always reminds me of Sunday family teas. For your red wine, a slow-cooked lamb casserole works wonders, though you do not really need to freeze it for the week.

Answer 3

You can cook beef stew or roast for your red wine po!!! Just put them in containers for the week... But wait, do you freeze it with potatoes???

Answer 4

I think beef stew goes great with your red wine... But does it freeze well with potatoes?? I am not sure if its safe or if they turn mushy...
