Wine Tasting Friday

For our wine tasting group on Friday, I decided to try a recipe from a Vietnamese cooking class we took a couple of years ago: shrimp toast & shrimp-stuffed peppers.

Shrimp-mixture Ingredients:
1 lb. raw shrimp
2 eggs
a few cloves of garlic
a few green onions
6 tsp flour or cornstarch
3 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
black pepper


Finely grind all shrimp-mixture ingredients in a food processor....


Place a couple tablespoons of the shrimp mixture on just about anything. I chose sliced baguette, green bell pepper, and jalapenos....


Fry on medium high heat with some vegetable oil....



In the Vietnamese cooking class, we used nuom cham, but I chose to use a Chinese black bean sauce instead....


Our host made a butternut squash soup and eggplant feta sandwiches....


As usual, everyone double-blind tasted four wines and ranked them. Here are the wines in order of their final ranking (highest ranking on the left)....
