Which wines pair best with pork?

Which wines pair best with pork?

Posted on August 18 2019 at 07:11

As with most foods, the best wine pairing with pork depends how the pork is cooked, and what it’s served with.

Pairing wine with Chinese cuisine

Pairing wine with Chinese cuisine

Posted on January 18 2012 at 07:42

I’ve written before about pairing wine with Chinese food - and so have some of my contributors but here’s a slightly different way of going about it that may help you decide which bottle to choose and make your pairings more successful. It involves deciding which flavours are predominant in a dish or selection of dishes.

Haven’t cooked from @rocketandsquash’s wonderful On The Side for a while but thought his aubergine, oregano and chilli bake (a sort of spicy auberginey dauphinoise) would make the perfect accompaniment for a rack of @meatpeter’s Himalayan salt-aged lamb. Which it did. Also on the side - for the second day running - @gill.meller’s raw courgette, pea and fennel salad cos I had all the ingredients including - gah! - courgettes and it is So Good. #loveagoodside. Oh and drank Denis Jamain’s 2018 Reuilly (pinot noir) from @berrybrosrudd with it which was just delish too. #sample . . . #aubergine #eggplant #courgette #zucchini #peas #fennel #salad #lamb #pinotnoir #reuilly #rocketandsquash #ontheside #sundaylunch #homecooking #igfood #instafood #foodstagram #meatwasagiftMy styling and photographic skills were in short supply last night for my first stab at @gill.meller’s genius tomatoes in the hole which @thaneeprince and I made for our Zoom supper from his new book Root Stem Leaf Flower. Decided to halve it cos it sounded a lot for 1 and used too small a tin, hence the batter billowing over the edge. (The recipe is intended for 2 but would easily serve 3 or even 4 with a side). We also made Gill’s raw courgette salad with fennel, pea, mint, dill and lemon (on his website) which obviously had the advantage of being ANOTHER WAY OF USING UP COURGETTES. Although you’re supposed to make it with tiny, weeny new ones you’ve grown yourself, ideally. Anyway both were delicious, coincidentally veggie and I would definitely make them again. I drank a chilled Chiroubles (Beaujolais) with it in case you’re wondering. A Loire red would have been good too as would a glass of cider. . . . #tomatoesinthehole #toadinthehole #tomatoes #courgette #zucchini #peas #fennel #salad #winepairing #beaujolais #gillmeller #rootstemleafflower #vegetarian #homecooking #zoomcookingFollowing on from my courgette post the other day and all your EXCELLENT advice I made a version of @ottolenghi’s courgette, pea and basil soup with feta and lemon zest from Simple. (Thankyou @dorset_rachel for suggesting it). I normally pair courgettes with mint so it was good to use basil instead. The peas help to keep the colour bright although it doesn’t cook for long. Oh, and I used spring onions instead of garlic as I had some to use up - and do occasionally like to take a break from garlic! I’m also trying not to drink at lunchtimes so had a glass of @jennychandleruk’s delicious homemade elderflower cordial which was brilliant with it. Sauvignon Blanc or Bacchus would have worked well too if you wanted a glass of wine. . . . #courgette #zucchini #peas #basil #feta #soup ##elderflowercordial #sauvignonblanc #bacchus #winepairing #lunch #usewhatyouhave #ottolenghisimpleLovely old-fashioned supper of @meatpeter’s dry-cured sugar-pit bacon chop with broad beans in parsley sauce. I ❤️broad beans. (Makes such a difference if you skin them.) would normally go for a fat chardonnay with this but drank a delicious Domaine Metrat Chiroubles from @berrybrosrudd. . . . #bacon #chop #sugarpitbacon #broadbeans #favabeans #parsley #homecooking #chiroubles #beaujolais #gift #sample Follow on Instagram
