Meghan’s Pairing Recommendation:

Ingredients

Chipotle Aioli:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • 1 Chipotle in adobo, diced

  • 2 tsp adobo sauce

  • Zest of 1 Lime

  • 1 – 2 tsp Lime juice

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • ¼ tsp smoked paprika

  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Corn Fritters:

  • 1 15 oz can of corn, drained

  • 1 Fresno chili, seeded and diced

  • ¼ cup pancetta, diced

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • ¼ cup green onion, diced

  • ½ cup cornmeal

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tsp sugar

  • 1 tsp salt

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • A couple dashes of Smoked paprika

  • ¼ tsp pepper

  • Halter Ranch Estate Tuscan Olive Oil for frying

  • Flaky salt (Maldon)

Instructions

Chipotle Aioli:

  1. Add all ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine. Adding lime juice until desired consistency is reached. Add salt and pepper to taste.

  2. Set aside in fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Corn Fritters:

  1. Over medium heat cook the diced pancetta until browned and crispy. Pull from the pan and drain on paper towel lined plate to cool.

  2. In the same pan sauté the Fresno chili and set aside to cool.

  3. In a medium bowl whisk the eggs. Whisk in the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika and pepper. With a spatula fold in the corn, cheddar cheese, green onion, Fresno chili and pancetta.

  4. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat, adding enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Working in batches add batter approximately ¼ cup at a time, making sure it is spread evenly. Fry on each side for about 3 minutes (until golden).

  5. Remove from pan, place on cooling rack and sprinkle with Maldon.

  6. Serve immediately with chipotle aioli drizzle  or on the side.

2022 Cabernet Sauvignon

Our 2022 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon has aromas of raspberry and Morello cherry. The aromas are framed by hints of cedar and cherry wood. The palate is soft and bursting with flavors of red and black fruits, pie filling and ripe plum. The finish is rich, with subtle yet prevalent rustic tannins.
