In Honour of Gilthalion

Same color. What you have is basically a white sauce that has a lot of tomato in it. Mix the colors and you get a pinkish. If the sauce browns a little, it goes salmon. Red wine obviously would add more color than a white. My Grandma just used water.

I haven't tried vodka in my cooking.

I once worked in a seafood restaurant where they served something called Shrimp Vermouth. I'm going to try one day to recreate this recipe because the owner of the restaurant is dead, and the former manager won't tell me!

Don't hold your breath waiting for this one...
