Today, we suggest to you another of our winter warmer bargains!
Fleur de Thenac, Cote de Bergerac, 2009 at only £10.95
A harmonious blend of 75% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon grown on limestone and clay, this is packed with ripe plum characters. Very much a food wine, the tannins are still pretty firm but are integrated, balanced and don’t detract from the wine’s overarching freshness.
This would pair beautifully with this savoury and creamy Swedish meatballs...
Ingredients
400g lean pork mince
1 egg, beaten
1 small onion, finely chopped or grated
85g fresh white breadcrumbs
1 tbsp finely chopped dill, plus extra to serve
1 tbsp each olive oil and butter
2 tbsp plain flour
400ml hot beef stock
Method
In a bowl, mix the mince with the egg, onion, breadcrumbs, dill and seasoning. Form into small meatballs about the size of walnuts – you should get about 20. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan and brown the meatballs. You may have to do this in 2 batches. Remove from pan, melt the butter, then sprinkle over the flour and stir well. Cook for 2 mins, then slowly whisk in the stock. Keep whisking until it is a thick gravy, then return the meatballs to the pan and heat through. Sprinkle with dill and serve with greens and mash.
