Malaysian Style Braised Pork on Grilled Naan Bread - from chef J. Mark Hand

Wine pairing - 2007 Riesling Icewine

• 2 Lt. coconut milk
• 2 lbs. pork shoulder cut into 2 cm x 5.5 cm pieces
• 2 onions sliced
• 2 tsp. sugar
• 2 tsp. salt
• 6 pc lime leaves

• 4 cm ginger
• 5 dried chillies
• 7 red chillies
• 25 shallots
• 2 garlic cloves
• 15 black peppercorns
• 3 tbsp. coriander
• 1 tsp cumin and fennel toasted

Optional:  apples, raisins, potatoes, celery, chick peas – this recipe is easy to personalize. We used these ingredients in our pairing at Coyote’s Run.

Method

1. Blend the Rempah in a blender until smooth.
2. In a hot pot add pork, onions, salt, sugar, lime leaves and Rempah.  Roast until aromatic.
3. Add half the coconut milk – deglaze. Add remaining coconut milk and simmer, stirring occasionally, until meat is tender and very little gravy remains.
4. Brush Nan bread with olive oil and sprinkle with cumin - grill and serve with the pork.

Lemon Basil Grilled Shrimp

• 12-18 large tiger shrimp, peeled and de-veined (I leave the tail on)
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 ounces melted butter
• 3 garlic cloves, crushed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2-3 tablespoons freshly chopped basil leaves
• 1 lemon, juice of, depending how lemony you like it, a medium or large lemon
• salt
• white pepper

Method

1. Place all the ingredients, except the prawns, in a shallow dish and mix well, taste or you want to add more mustard.
2. Add the prawns and toss to coat, cover, refrigerate for 1 hour.
3. Remove the prawns from the marinade and thread on skewers.
4. Cook over medium coals for 2-3 minutes on each side, basting with any remaining marinade from time to time.
5. Serve immediately

Eggplant Cannelloni

Pair with Coyote's Run 2005 Meritage

• Drizzle olive oil over 2 baby eggplants (sliced 1/4" rounds) and roast until both sides are golden brown.  Chop finely.
• Saute 1 medium onion and 2 cloves of garlic in olive oil until soft
• Combine the minced eggplant, onion, garlic with 2&1/4 cups of grated asiago cheese
• Add a few leaves of fresh basil, salt & pepper to the mixture.
• Stuff mixture into cannelloni tubes (filling is enough for 12 - 14 tubes), cover with your favourite tomato sauce and bake at 350 degrees.  It should take approximately 20 minutes if you use fresh or cooked pasta, about 45 minutes if you use the oven-ready noodles (make sure you cover the pan with foil if you use this type).
• A couple of options: add some sauteed mushrooms or chopped spinach to the mixture

Maple Glazed Pork Loin

Pair with Coyote's Run 2006 Unoaked Chardonnay

• Stir together 1/4 cup melted butter, 1/4 cup white vinegar, 1/3 cup of maple syrup , 1 Tbsp of cornstarch, and 1/4 cup brown sugar.
• Marinade a 5 lb pork loin roast with this mixture for 2 hours
• Roast at 350 degrees for 1 hour covered, then remove the lid and continue roasting until brown.  Internal temp should be 150 degrees.
