à table!

Don't have any ideas for dinner with friends, for two or solo? We suggest an all-inclusive wine and food pairing! Our dish/wine of the day : Fish balls with grapefruit and creamy sauce

 

The Loire Wine:

To accompany this recipe, we suggest a rosé wine that offers a nice balance between fruit and freshness, acidity to enhance the fish and fruit and citrus aromas to match the grapefruit in the recipe. For example, a Rosé de Loire, a Touraine, a Touraine Noble-Joué, a Saumur or a Chinon rosé.

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 cod backs

Cut the cod backs into large pieces then put them in the bowl of a blender.

Add olive oil, salt and pepper. Chop finely.

Place the fish flesh in a salad bowl, then add the chives.

Add the herbes de Provence and lemon zest. Mix.

Make walnut-sized dumplings, place in a gratin dish.

Squeeze 1 grapefruit.

Drizzle the grapefruit juice over the cod balls. Season with salt and pepper.
