What To Serve With Rosé

John Tilson • 8/1/10        Print This Post Print This PostComment Bookmark and Share

Rosé is an extremely versatile wine.  It can be matched with many different kinds of food.  Here are two of our favorite foods to match with Rosés.  The salad is best with lighter and fruitier Rosés.  The Mediterranean chicken calls for something with a bit more flavor and complexity and Bandols are really good with this dish.

JOHN’S GRAPEFRUIT AVOCADO SALAD

4 Tbs. roasted, salted pistachios, coarsely chopped

LAURIE’S MEDITERRANEAN LEMON CHICKEN

lemon chicken with orzo

INGREDIENTS

8 chicken thighs
¼ cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
2 Meyer lemons, cut into 8 wedges each and seeded
1 ½ cups orzo ( 2 cups Quinoa can be substituted)
3 cups chicken broth
1 small clove garlic, minced
1 tsp. freshly squeezed Meyer lemon juice
¾ cup pitted Kalamata olives
4 Tbs. chopped fresh oregano
Sea salt** to taste

PROCEDURE

Lightly salt chicken thighs
Place chicken thighs in a large zip lock bag and add olive oil and garlic, and 8 lemon wedges (1 lemon)
Marinate thighs for 3-6 hours
Preheat oven to broil
Remove thighs and put on sheet pan
Broil until skin is golden in color – about 10 minutes (the chicken will not be fully cooked)
While chicken is in the oven, put orzo (if using Quinoa soak for 5 minutes in warm water before adding), chicken stock, lemon wedges, lemon juice, olives, and 2 Tbs. oregano in a Dutch oven or large Corning Ware type container.  Bring to a boil on stove top.
When chicken is browned, remove it from the oven, and change the oven to bake with a temperature to 350 degrees
Place the chicken pieces on top of the orzo mixture, cover, and bake for 30 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the chicken is cooked.
Remove from oven and discard lemon wedges.

PLATING

Place orzo and olives in the middle of a serving plate.
Top with a chicken thigh.
Sprinkle with sea salt and remaining oregano.
Garnish with oregano sprig.
Serves 8
