Notes

  1. Not feeling raw egg whites? If egg whites aren’t your thing, but you’re still dying for that frothy texture, try using aquafaba instead. Aquafaba is the juice from cooked chickpeas or the liquid gold found inside a can of chickpeas. Simply dry shake the aquafaba until it’s whipped up and resembles frothed egg whites.
  2. For the red wine, you'll want to choose a fruity red wine like a Pinot Noir.
