We just love the “Just Fucking Good Wine” range from Neleman’s Wine. They, and we, do not mean to be rude, but they just wanted to bring back the wine to everyday wine lovers (you do not need to know a lot about wine labels to enjoy a great wine). High quality and complex wines, coming mainly from their local grapes: Verdil and Marselan and award winning! With Gold Medal in Mundus Vini.
The Just Fucking Good Wine series has a special label and a special name, designed by a young German designer with a nod to his (and our!) thoughts about wine. Much is written about wine, is said to be difficult about wine, but this is how he sees it: Just Fucking Good Wine and nothing else!
Just Fucking Good Wine is available in Red, White and Rose (coming soon to Ashby Wines!) and we thought you might like to try them with a great meal too. So here is a recipe to try with the white wine – and more to follow soon.
SUSHI RICE WITH AVOCADO
A special wine from a special grape, the Verdil, with a pronounced taste of marzipan, herbs such as cumin and fruits such as lychee and muscat. A good sweet-sour balance and that is exactly what is needed here with the savory rice, seaweed and avocado. A tasty refreshing combination.
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons of rice vinegar
1 tablespoon of soya sauce
½ a tablespoon of sugar
100g of sushi rice
1 tablespoon of finely chopped, dried seaweed sheet
1 tablespoon of roasted sesame seeds
½ a tablespoon of sea salt
2 avocados, diced
A small red onion, sliced in rings
50g of tomberries (small tomatoes)
2 plum tomatoes, diced
Method:
1. Make the dressing with the rice vinegar, soya sauce and sugar. Cook the sushi rice according to the instructions on the packet. Allow to cool slightly and mix the rice with half the dressing.
2. Finely chop the seaweed and mix with the roasted sesame seeds and the salt. Stir half this mixture through the rice.
3. Mix the avocado cubes with the red onion and tomatoes and drizzle with the remaining dressing.
4. Divide the rice between the plates and add the vegetables. Sprinkle with the rest of the sesame seed mixture.
