Gewurztraminer Wine with Yellow Coconut Curry Thai Chicken Recipe


Domaine Loew Gewurztraminer 2003 Wine






Domaine Loew Gewurztraminer 2003 Wine




Last night I had a craving for some Thai food and nothing goes better with Thai food than a nice Gewurztraine wine. I had the one above (click on the link and or picture and you can purchase it yourself as well). The Domaine Loew Gewurztraminer is from the Alsace region in France and is perfect for spicy food.




Here are the tasting notes:





A beautiful golden colored wine with a very expressive nose of stone fruit, orange peel, flowers, and spice – especially cloves. large, smooth, emollient wine with tremendous complexity and balance. The fruit flavors mirror the nose, complemented by a long, spicy finish. Drink over the next couple years as an aperitif or with foie gras, rich poultry dishes, quiche, ethnic foods, and, of course, Alsace’s Munster cheese.Pair with: Chinese Food, Duck, Foie Gras, Indian Food, Mexican Food, Quiche, Thai Food




Yellow Coconut Curry Thai Chicken Recipe



Ingredients:
1 bottle of Yellow Cocunut Curry Sauce (I purchased mine at Trader Joe's for 2.99)
1/2 can of cocunut milk
Fresh vegetables of choice (I just used what I had left over from a Stir Fry)
Jasmine Rice (also from Trader Joes)
2 Chicken breasts

Directions:


First start the Jasmine Rice, it takes 15 minutes to cook. After the rice is started, cut up the vegetables. Again I used cut up vegetables I had left over from a stir fry that I had not used. Next cut the chicken breasts into cubes. **** Here's a special WineWithLori tip**** You know those nice plasitc bags you put your fresh vegetables in from the grocery store, do not throw one of them away. Place your vegetables, your chicken, the yellow curry sauce and half of the can of coconut milk all into that plastic bag and shake it up. (a ziploc bag also works, however there is no need to waste more plastic)

Heat up your wok to a medium high setting, use non stick Pam, pour in the contents of the bag, cook until chicken is thoroughly cooked.



Serve over the bed of jasmine rice and Gewurztraminer wine
