Can I still make this without the wine?!


Question: Can I still make this without the wine?
I would like to make the below for dinner tomorrow. However, my mom's partner is 21 years sober and will not eat anything that was prepared with wine and I don't want to disrespect her by sneaking it in any (I am not even old enough to buy it) ways. Would it be okay if I left it out?


roasted pork loin
Ingredients

* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
* salt and pepper to taste
* 2 pounds boneless pork loin roast
* 1/4 cup olive oil
* 1/2 cup white wine

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Crush garlic with rosemary, salt and pepper, making a paste. Pierce meat with a sharp knife in several places and press the garlic paste into the openings. Rub the meat with the remaining garlic mixture and olive oil.
3. Place pork loin into oven, turning and basting with pan liquids. Cook until the pork is no longer pink in the center, about 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove roast to a platter. Heat the wine in the pan and stir to loosen browned bits of food on the bottom. Serve with pan juices.

Answers:

Yes, I would use apple juice or pear juice since they go well with pork. A small drinking box of apple juice would be perfect. That is a very good recipe. You can also serve the roast pork with apple sauce on the side.

Don't use vinegar as others suggest.

Yeah, but you'll have to replace it with something.

You could always get Non-alcoholic wine
or chicken broth or stock, diluted white wine vinegar or cider vinegar, white grape juice diluted with white wine vinegar, ginger ale, canned mushroom liquid, water. Or substitute 1/4 cup vinegar plus 1 Tbsp sugar plus 1/4 cup water.



I don't know why these people gave you complicated things to read. Anytime you want to substitute something for white wine, you can use chicken broth. You don't even have to change the amount. Straight up simple. If you use juice or vinegar or anything else with a strong flavor it will change the flavor of what you are making. Chicken broth will not do this.



Of course you can skip it, all the wine does is add a little more flavour and with all of what you have there already there is no need to add anything else.
Tip
Put the roast onto a warmed platter and covered and rest for a good 20minutes before carving.
I would thicken up the juice.



Of course you can. You can also replace the wine with de-alcoholised (SP) wine. I never put wine in cooking it seems such a waste !



Increase olive oil to 1/2 cup OR add 1 cup italian salad dressing in place of wine.

yes but use some vegetable bouillon or chicken stock as a replacement so there will be good flavor and moisture
