SPICY CHICKEN IN LETTUCE LEAVES
This recipe borrows heavily from the food traditions of Southeast Asia. Although I suggest readily available alternatives for both tamarind concentrate and palm sugar, it is worth the extra effort to shop for these rather exotic ingredients. There is no good substitute for fish sauce; fortunately, it is available in most grocery stores. The lush layering of spices, salt, sweetness, and acidity in this recipe complements the full mouth feel and tropical notes of our Anderson Valley Sauvignon Blanc. Enjoy with 2006 Sauvignon Blanc, Anderson Valley, Ferrington Vineyard
HUMMUS WITH PAPRIKA AND WHOLE CHICKPEAS
Tired of hummus with too much garlic, cumin, and lemon, I set out to create my own version. Delicate yet richly flavored, this recipe pairs nicely with our Chardonnay. Use organic chickpeas from a busy store—fresh chickpeas cook in 30-40 minutes when soaked, whereas old chickpeas can take hours. Enjoy with 2006 Chardonnay, Anderson Valley, Estate Vineyard
JERK PORK TENDERLOIN WITH MELON SALSA
Jamaican jerk seasoning typically contains allspice, thyme, and scotch bonnet or habanero peppers. Feel free to substitute jalapeno or serrano peppers, which are easier to find. You can use more chilies for a hotter rub, but be careful not to overpower the Gewu.rztraminer. Enjoy with 2007 Gewürztraminer, Anderson Valley
ROAST CHICKEN CACCIATORE
Ingredients in Italian Cacciatore are usually sautéed, but I roasted them, thus retaining the integrity of each ingredient. Roasting also brings out some of the flavors that make this dish a good match for Handley Pinot Noir. Enjoy with 2006 Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley
BASQUE FISHERMAN’S TUNA STEW
Spanish food is popular these days. If you want to experiment with Spanish paprika or piquillo peppers, there are many good websites and specialty stores that carry them. Be sure to use Russet potatoes (also called “bakers” or Idaho potatoes), which are starchier than other varieties, and therefore better for thickening the stew. Enjoy with 2006 Zinfandel, Redwood Valley
GRILLED SIRLOIN WITH CHIMICHURRI SAUCE
Chimichurri is an Argentinean sauce made with parsley, oregano, garlic, onion, and olive oil. Usually served with beef, it is also good with chicken or fish. Although many chimichurri recipes contain vinegar or citrus juice, I only add vinegar to the marinade, as vinegar in the sauce itself made the wine taste thin. Enjoy with 2006 Syrah, Redwood Valley, Kazmet Vineyard
