How do I make a stew less vinegary??

[HoneyBumpkin]

So... Despite being a generally reasonable cook I have cocked up

My vegetable stew was supposed to have some white wine in, but I didn't have any so I used white wine vinegar. I put less in than the recipe suggested but it still tastes too much of vinegar!

I've tried a spoon of brown sugar to try and add some sweetness and some tinned tomatoes to try and make it richer.

Nothing has worked!

To make it worse I made double amounts to get me through a busy week at work!

Any ideas to save my dinners?

If you add some bicarb by sprinkling it on the surface - bit at a time don’t go mad, it will counteract the acid. It does work. Same as adding a potato if it’s too salty!

Baking soda! Add a teaspoon or so at at time, mix in well then taste.

If you haven't got any, naking powder still works.

I was going to suggest bicarb too

Well I didn't know that. Update to let us know if it works OP!

I was going to suggest redcurrant jelly.

Three for three! Sounds like that's the way to go. I have some (out of date) baking powder so I'll give it a go! Thank you

Oh it will bubble up massively, and look scary, but just keep stirring!

Baking powder has bicarb in it but they aren't the same thing. Hope it works though!

Late update (after the crazy work week!) I think I put too much baking powder in as I could taste it a bit... But it was better than the vinegar!

Next time I'll follow the actual recipe. Thanks MN

Sorry about your original mistake,OP, pleased you've rectified it now, and...adding BAKING POWDER/BI-CARB?

Well, I never knew that! Thanks everyone.
