Once again, we are breaking into the series tasting wines from each of Italy's twenty wine regions. This article examines a noble red wine from the island of Sicily in southern Italy. It is very far from a bargain wine. We were about a dozen to taste it. I'll be presenting my opinions and those of others.
We'll start off with a very interesting bread. This bread, called Rice Bread, is not only one of the most savory breads you will ever eat, it also has an incredible texture thanks to the white cornmeal combining with the mashed cooked rice. Needless to say, this bread goes perfectly with the main course of Thai slow cooker beef and potato curry. As opposed to other ethnic curry dishes, the way the Thai people prepare curry makes it much smoother and the taste relies more on freshness than heat (though this does pack a spicy punch).
Fry meat until browned then add tomato, tomato paste, spicy beef curry broth or water. If you are adding cauliflower and carrots, add them now. Cover and turn heat down to simmer. Stir occasionally and simmer for about 20 minutes or until tender. Add more water or broth if needed. Mixture will thicken slightly as it cooks but you want it slightly saucy for the rice.
A healthy diet is all about choices; an actual diet plan isn't necessary. The first choice each day slow cooker beef curry is to eat breakfast the most important meal of the day. Eating breakfast gets the body's motor started, ready to work throughout the day. Instead of a cup of coffee, drink some fruit juice. Instead of a bacon egg and cheese sandwich from McDonald's, eat a toasted bagel.
Asian eggplant varieties are slender, have light purple skin and a sweeter flavor than their purple eggplant counterparts. Asian eggplants beef curry marinade't have to be peeled and are great when grilled whole or sliced and added to stir fry recipes.
Final verdict. This wine is borderline. I can't help but think that an Italian Barbera would be better. The truth is, some would be better, and others not. I am tempted to try more of their wines.
