An Italian Meal For the Week, and Gavi
Friday October 30, 2009
Last week I worked on Barolo, and this week on Gavi, Piemonte's finest white wine. With whites people think primarily of cheese, eggs, and fish, and though Gavi does have the backbone necessary to work with white meats too, and also fried foods -- yes, it's versatile, and that's one of the reasons I like it -- we'll stick to fish this time. To start out:
Risotto coi Gamberetti, with shrimp. Very delicate, and romantic, even. Followed by:
Salmone all'Aneto, salt-roasted salmon with dill. As a side dish, I might be tempted by scalloped potatoes, which aren't really Italian but will be nice with both the fish and the wine (Gavi, of course...).
To close? We're in Apple Season, and what could be better than Budino di Mele, Apple Pudding?
