Greetings. Wishing you well as we wrap up another year ... ENJOY!

 

 Tip:

Ever wonder about chilling your wines? 

Whites: chilled (45-55 degrees F) for a few hours in the refrigerator.
Reds: slightly cooler than room temperature (about 65 degrees)
Chilling tones down the sweetness of wine. If a red wine becomes too warm, it may lose some of its fruity flavor.

WHERE TO FIND US 

 

December 2009

 

What better way to warm up in winter than with hot, stuffed peppers?  How 'bout pairing them with a wonderful Cañon de Sol wine!  And, to make things just a little more festive, splash some cranberry juice into your glass of Viognier (I know, we mentioned it before - but just in case you needed reminding).

 

STUFFED RED BELL PEPPERS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Boil 11/3 cups water in a saucepan. Add 2/3 cup quinoa (rinsed & drained). Reduce heat, cover & simmer for 15 minutes. Keep covered and set aside.

 

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add peppers. Boil for 5 minutes. Drain.

 

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Add 3/4 cup diced carrots and cook for 3 minutes. Then add 1/2 red onion, diced and cook another 5 minutes.  Stir in 10 ounces of spinach (thawed & drained) plus a 15 ounce can of kidney beans (rinsed & drained). Remove from heat and stir in quinoa.  Add a teaspoon of chili powder.

 

Fill peppers with the quinoa mixture and place upright in a baking dish. Add a thin layer of water to cover the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle with grated jack cheese. Bake for 20 minutes (till tops are lightly browned).

 

Garnish with sliced avocado and a sprig of cilantro.

 

ENJOY!  Victor & Kim Cruz
