White or red wine? What’s the best pairing for risotto?

Posted on October 9 2024 at 07:15

Talking about wine matches for risotto is a bit like talking about wine with pasta - it’s depends on the other ingredients you use, not the rice.

I know I’ve highlighted crab as a match for a number of different wines but it really is a great dish to pick if you’re drinking a serious white. This time however the wine was far from stellar: the basic house Sauvignon at Culinaria in Bristol where I was doing a photo shoot for our next book.

It’s not always the show-off dishes that make a great restaurant but getting the small things right so well done @asador44 for the bread - well actually the best ever sourdough toast both at dinner and at breakfast), the perfectly cooked side of broccoli and the stellar apricot ice cream and sangria sorbet. Also the comfiest bed and the loveliest staff. And no, it wasn’t a freebie. 💯worth your money if you fancy a night away. . . . #sourdough #toast #broccoli #icecream #sorbet #goodfood #hospitality #asador44 #parador44 #cardiffMade the first but what certainly won’t be the last of the recipes from @sami_tamimi’s glorious new book Boustany which is about vegetable-based cooking inspired by his homeland of Palestine. It’s the crushed broad beans with goat’s cheese and preserved lemon salsa. Although he makes it with frozen broad beans and peas which makes it a brilliant storecupboard standby I made it with fresh given both are in season - just the perfect taste of summer. Seems so very wrong that his compatriots can’t eat food like this, and in many cases struggle to feed themselves and their families at all. . . . #broadbeans #favabeans #peas #dip #goatscheese #preservedlemon #boustany #samitamimiForget starters and mains! I could live on restaurants’ ‘snack’ menus these days. Here are 3 from @town.restaurant - the sage fritters, the radishes and the unholy potato sourdough with ‘house gravy’ which might have to go on my Last Supper list. More in this week’s Friday 5 (see link in bio). . . . #snacks #fritti #potatobread #gravy #radishes #townrestaurant #newrestaurant #londonfoodGreat to have an old-school aubergine/eggplant parm the other night @pazzobybianchis plus top notch fritto misto. The set lunch deal is a bargain too at £16. . . . #aubergine #eggplant #eggplantparm #frittomisto #italianfood #bristolfood Follow on Instagram
