Recipes
  We are pleased to share some of the recipes that we have prepared and served at the various wine trail events. Also included below are some recipes that we haven't served but that are our personal favorites, either because they utilize a Glorie wine in preparation or because they taste great when paired with a Glorie wine. Please feel free to email us feedback on your experience with our recipes or share one of your favorites for us to try!


"Kicked Up Mac & Cheese"
(From Pasta Primo Vino 2010)

Three reasons to love our "kicked up" version of this popular dish: You don't have to make a white sauce, there's only one pot to wash, and it's distinctly flavorful and different! And not for nothin', but if you can't get the Rotel tomatoes with chopped green chiles, then use another brand, but I think you'll still have to add a 4 oz. can of diced green chiles separately. It's been my experience that other brands just don't pack the same zing as Rotel, and this dish just isn't the same without it.

16 oz. elbow macaroni
8 oz. Mexican blend shredded cheese
8 oz. sour cream
16 oz. cottage cheese
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
10 oz. can Rotel diced tomatoes with chopped green chiles (NOT drained)
4 oz. evaporated milk
4 oz. shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook macaroni according to package directions. Drain and place in 9x13 baking dish. Add all remaining ingredients except shredded cheddar cheese. Stir gently until all ingredients are thoroughly blended. Sprinkle entire dish with the cheddar cheese. Bake 30-40 minutes or until bubbly and lightly browned around the edges. Enjoy with toasted garlic bread and Glorie Seyval Blanc!


"Cowboy Caviar"
Delicious served with Glorie Seyval Blanc.
(From Wreath Fineries 2009)

If you google "Cowboy Caviar," you'll get a whole slew of options for recipes. This appetizer is easy, flexible, and fast! I offer a simple version here; you can make it your own - first by leaving out anything you don't like, then perhaps substituting fresh garlic and tomatoes, using green onions instead of sweet onions, or adding dashes of lime juice, cumin, red wine vinegar, or even avocado. Adjust the amount of jalapeno peppers for more or less heat, or add a few drops of hot sauce. If time permits, you can make your own dressing. I had to make enough to feed 400+ people for each day of this event, so I hope you'll forgive me but I took the easy road. :) You hit the trifecta with this recipe: You make it ahead of time, you don't have to turn on the oven, and it's not only delicious but healthy to boot! Have fun with it!

1 - 15 oz. can black beans
1 - 15 oz. can black-eyed peas
1 - 15 oz. can white corn
1 - 15 oz. can petite diced tomatoes
1/4 cup red bell pepper, small dice
1/4 cup green bell pepper, small dice
1/3 cup jalapeno peppers, small dice
1/2 cup sweet/yellow onion, small dice
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
3/4 cup Italian dressing (I used Wishbone)

Drain and rinse the black beans in a large colander. Drain the black-eyed peas, corn and tomatoes and add them to the colandar. Toss the vegetables in the colandar so you get rid of most of the liquid.

Place green pepper, red pepper, jalapeno peppers and onion in a large bowl. Add the colander mixture. Sprinkle with garlic salt. Pour Italian dressing over all. Use a large spoon to gently turn the ingredients and coat everything with the dressing.

This is best if you can refrigerate it overnight, stirring a couple of times to re-distribute the dressing.

Serve with tortilla chips - and Glorie Wine, of course!


MOROS Y CRISTIANOS
(Literally translated to "Moors and Christians,"
this is Black Beans and Rice, Cuban Style)
(From Around the World in 80 Miles - 2009)

5 tablespoons Spanish olive oil
1 medium, sweet onion, chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1-29 ounce can black beans, undrained
2 cups uncooked long grain rice
4-1/4 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
2+ teaspoons cumin (or more, to your taste)
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

In a large saucepan, heat oil over a medium flame, then saute onion, green pepper and garlic, stirring, until onion is translucent. Add all remaining ingredients, stir well to blend, and cook over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring just one or twice. Then cover, turn heat to low and simmer until rice is tender, another 10 to 15 minutes. Discard the bay leaf, season with salt and pepper to taste if desired, and serve.


TORTICAS (Cuban Sugar Cookies)
(From Around the World in 80 Miles - 2009)

This makes a big batch!!

1-1/2 cups shortening
2 cups sugar
2 egg yolks
3 teaspoons lime juice
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
powdered sugar

In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.

Cream the shortening and sugar with an electric mixer. Add the egg yolks, lime juice, and vanilla extract and blend thoroughly.

Continue beating while slowly adding flour mixture. Once all the flour mixture has been added, remove bowl from mixer. Dough will be stiff and somewhat crumbly. This is ok! Use a heavy duty spoon to stir and make sure all flour mixture has been incorporated into the dough.

Divide the dough into two or three portions and place each portion on a sheet of wax paper. Form each dough portion into a log approximately 2" in diameter. Roll the dough logs in the wax paper and twist the ends. Place logs in the refrigerator for 1 hour. (From personal experience, I know you can leave them overnight as well, and bake them the next day without any loss in quality.)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Unroll the dough logs and slice the cookies about 1/4" thick. Place the cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for approximately 10 minutes. Watch for the edges to just begin to brown.

Let cookies cool for several minutes, then remove to a wire rack and sprinkle with powdered sugar.


SPICY ELBONI ALLA BOOZKA
(Our play on the more traditional "Penne alla Vodka")
(From Pasta Primo Vino 2009)

1 box (16 oz.) elbow macaroni
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup diced sweet onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jar (24 oz.) tomato & basil pasta sauce
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 can (10 oz.) diced tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel is best!)
1/4 cup vodka
grated parmesan (optional)

Prepare macaroni according to package directions. Drain pasta thoroughly. Set aside in a large bowl. Keep warm.

Meanwhile, heat olive oil a medium saucepan, then saute onion until translucent. Add minced garlic and saute, stirring occasionally, just until garlic is fragrant. Add pasta sauce, heavy cream, tomatoes & green chilies, and vodka. Stir to blend completely, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sauce should thicken slightly. Add sauce to macaroni.Stir to blend. Sprinkle with grated parmesan, if desired. Serve with Glorie Seyval Blanc or Jumpin Jazz, two great whites to complement this dish!

For our Red Monkey fans, here is the recipe we keep telling you about. It's our favorite pairing with Red Monkey.

GRILLED MARINATED FLANK STEAK

1 (1-1/2 to 2 pound) Angus flank steak
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup Glorie Red Monkey
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon honey
2 cloves minced garlic
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt

Using a whisk, combine all ingredients except flank steak in a small bowl. Score flank steak in a diamond pattern on both sides and place flat in a heavy duty, zip-top baggie. Pour marinade over steak and seal baggie. Place in refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight, but not longer than 24 hours. Turn bag over occasionally.

Remove steak from baggie and discard marinade. Prepare grill rack. Place steak on grill over medium-hot coals. Cover and grill approximately 8 minutes on each side or to desired doneness. Remove steak from grill, cover, and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing diagonally across grain in thin slices. Serve with mashed potatoes and other side veggies, and the remainder of the Red Monkey, of course!
