Preview: Italian Wines for Cold Winter Nights #ItalianFWT

By

I am hosting the #ItalianFWT bloggers this month as we explore Italian Wines for Cold Winter Nights. You can read my invitation.

We just got back from a ten day trip to Denmark where we spent my younger son's birthday, Christmas, and New Year's with friends there. It was, needless to say, cold! And we drank a lot of Italian reds there, including a 2014 Barolo served with spaghetti and meatballs. Che squisito!

Caulibits Crni Rižoto (Croatian Black "Risotto") #Whole30

By
Last week, I participated in the Wine Pairing Weekend event 'New Year, New Wine." I paired Crni Rižoto with Dingac Vinarija’s Pelješac...and you can read my post: here . I was pouring a Croatian wine and decided to make a traditional Croatian dish. Every seafood restaurant in Croatia has a  Crni Rižoto  (black risotto) on its menu.  Crni Rižoto  is risotto dyed black with squid ink; I used cuttlefish ink for the same effect. However, since arborio rice is not Whole30 compliant, I made a version for myself that used caulibits instead of rice. Ingredients 1 C fish stock (or a combination of fish stock and vegetable stock) 1 T olive oil 1 medium shallots, peeled and minced 1 cloves garlic, crushed and minced 1/4 lb shrimp 1/4 lb squid tubes, cleaned and sliced into rings 1/4 lb scallops 1/4 lb clams, scrubbed 1/4 lb mussels, scrubbed 4 C caulibits, or chopped cauliflower 1 T fresh parsley, minced juice and zest from 1 organic lemon 1 t cuttlefish ink

Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."
