Goats Cheese & Apricot Tabouleh w Mahi Pinot Gris

tabouleh

The perfection of stone fruit notes in this wine, grabs-a-hold-of a dried-apricot and makes everything sing…  Can’t say more really, just like apricots and goats cheese are both fruity and creamy, so is this Mahi Pinot Gris.

1/2 teaspoon of salt, 

1/2 teasooon sumac

1/4 teaspoon of white pepper

2 1/4 cups boiling water

Juice of the lemon

3 tablespoons of excellent local olive oil.

2 bunches of old fashioned curly parsley, finely chopped

To serve

12 dried apricots, sliced

50g or about 1/2 log of chevré, (put the rest on your cheese board with some local honey)

    Fish with Fennel Fern and Seeded Mustard

    Makes: Enough for each person to have 200g of fresh fish

    Notes: I tested this recipe with three commonly available NZ white fish.

    Ling which took 10 minutes plus resting 5.

    Gurnard and Tarakihi both took 7 minutes plus resting. 

    The resting gives you a bit of wriggle room but look for fillets about the same size.  With the Ling for example I folded the tail of the fillets under to make them the same width as the fatter section of the fillet.
