Notes
DONNA'S TIP FOR THE PANTRY: Chickpeas and white beans to blitz into quick dips, marinated artichokes, cornichons and anchovies for easy bites to serve with cheese and deli meats, crisp bread and bread sticks to serve with dips. FOR THE FRIDGE: Olives, feta, pâté and chutney for a quick-grazing plate, hummus, cured ham, smoked salmon or trout for a substantial antipasto plate. FOR THE FREEZER: Edamame beans for a quick snack, store-bought puff or shortcrust pasty for easy tarts,frozen Chinese dumplings for fast finger food.
TO DRINK: Solms-Delta Amalie 2010. A complex wine for a complex dish with the sweetness of the caramelised onion picking up on the subtle wood flavour of the wine.
