Mackerel en escabeche with manzanilla sherry

Mackerel en escabeche with manzanilla sherry

Posted on September 3 2007 at 08:00

No apologies for returning to one of my favourite drinks, manzanilla sherry, as it’s such a versatile food wine. This time I found a felicitous match with a dish of mackerel en escabeche which was served at one of my regular hangouts in Bristol, Quartier Vert.

Back to New Zealand for a mo - two dishes that to me represent the typical vibrancy and colour of Kiwi food: cold smoked salmon with golden beets and nectarine @the_hunting_lodge and duck with carrot, sweet potato and quinoa @tantalusestate on Waiheke island. (The salmon went with an Albariño and the duck with a peppery syrah.) A real feast for the eyes. #guest. . . . #salmon #duck #sweetpotato #carrot #colour #cheflife #waiheke #thehuntinglodge #tantalusestate #wine #winepairing #nzwine #presstrip #colourpop #orange #instafoodWhat happens when you get the @guardianfeast team to cater their own office party? A feast, obviously. A small snapshot of what we ate including an absolutely wonderful aubergine and tahini dish from @ottolenghi (for which he actually apologised because it was aubergines. IMAGINE!), a lovely crunchy red cabbage and nashi pear (I think) salad from - dunno - @we_are_food? - and these insanely good pistachio eclairs from @drraybakes. Also FAB barbecoa pork tacos from @thomasinamiers, clever vegan Caesar salad and some sort of wickedly chocolatey cake from @cheftomhunt, rum baba from @felicitycloake and a mega catch-up with @rachelaliceroddy. You can find all of them in the @guardian every Saturday if you didn’t know 😉. Thanks @lusher_food for making it all happen. What a treat! #braggingrights . . . #partyfood #aubergine #eggplant #ottolenghi #salad #eclairs #pistachio #feast #guardianfeast #instafood #foodstagramIf your mind’s turning to fizz for Valentine’s Day tomorrow be sure to enter this month’s comp to win a case of @nicolasfeuillatte rosé champagne.

Click the link in my profile to find out how to enter. (PS macarons are a good pairing 😍) . . . #valentinesday #champagne #rosechampagne #nicolasfeiullatte #competition #prize #sponsoredSo many great memories from the last two weeks in New Zealand - the amazing #centralotagopinotcelebration, first ever visit to Nelson and Waiheke, new discoveries in Marlborough which is constantly evolving, brilliant food, lovely people. Thanks @nzwineeurope for making it all possible and to all the wineries involved for your time and hospitality.
