Spiced Pearl Couscous
A delicious one-pot meal with lots of fresh herbs and spices. The eggplant and tomatoes cook down into a nice savory jam. Don't skip on the labneh (or yogurt) as it's essential to the creaminess and overall dish. Best paired with the Lolati 2021 Kikoi Red Blend.
Raw Asparagus Salad
With asparagus in season, my garden is full of asparagus! I made this salad a few years ago and recently recreated it, and forgot how delicious it is. The simplicity of the dressing really allows the asparagus and citrus to shine. Make it for your next BBQ or dinner party and pair it with the Lolati Wines Sauvignon Blanc.
Barbecue Sauce
Barbecue sauce is one of my favorite sauces to eat in the summertime and this recipe will become your go-to! It is tangy and a little sweet, which makes it perfect for summer grilling. Pair your grilled masterpiece with the Lolati Grenache to wow your guests.
Grilled Bone-In Rib-Eye Steaks with Blue Cheese
When you're craving a good steak but want an extra bit of flavor, some crumbled blue cheese sprinkled on the hot steak will do just that, especially when you spike it with hot sauce and butter. The use of direct and indirect heat allows for a crust to form but not burn while keeping the meat juicy inside. This pairs beautifully with bolder reds, like the Lolati Wines 2021 Kikoi Red Blend.
Zucchini Panzanella
This Zucchini Panzanella recipe is easy, delicious, and the perfect way to enjoy all of the summer squash in season! It’s hard not to love the homemade pan-fried croutons and scallions that get candied with maple syrup. The whole thing gets tossed in a garlicky dressing - just pure yum! Pair it with 2020 Lolati Grenache.
Shrimp Scampi with Orzo
This quick and easy shrimp scampi is absolutely delicious! It's garlicky and buttery with bursts of lemon, red pepper flakes, and fresh parsley. For an added burst of flavor, add cherry tomatoes and feta cheese. It pairs beautifully with the Lolati Sauvignon Blanc.
Raspberry Ricotta Cake
This cake is on the less-sweet side, but if you want it sweeter, you can use 1 cup of jam or marmalade (any kind of your choice) swirled in lieu of the unsweetened berries. The result will be a little sweeter and a bit more subtle in its delivery of the fruit, but still very delicious. Pair it with 2023 Lolati Rosé of Grenache.
