Mondays are a great chance to give yourself a rest from meat. But not wine of course! Here’s a delicious food and wine combination worth trying out on any day.
Sicilian Cauliflower Pasta
A heady mix of saffron, cauliflower, garlic, raisins and pine nuts, it’s quick to whip up, uber delicious and unbelievably healthy.
Wine Match
It’s a hard one, as there’s such a play of flavours going on! Crunchy, salty, sweet, savoury, and that distinct cauliflower flavour.
WE RECOMMEND: A crisp, full bodied white, like a Viognier. This style of wine matches well against the play of the sweet bursts of fruit, the spice from the chilli flakes and the salty cheese.
Three to try:
- For a special Monday – Clonakilla Viognier 2012 $45.00
- For just another Monday – Yalumba Y Series Viognier $12.00
- For red devotees – Even a Shiraz Viognier blend would do nicely here. The addition of Viognier lifts the Shiraz and makes it softer and more fragrant. Try Taylors Eight Acres Shiraz Viognier 2011 $15.00
