Arconi Bianco and a new recipe by Chef Ivana Frank
Our discovering of PIWI wines through Chef Ivana Frank’s recipes brings us to the Arconi Bianco. The great Sauvignon Kretos aroma and the structure of Soreli, a Friuli variety by its own nature, are mixed together. The Arconi is sapiently coupled to this new recipe that brings us fantasy and creativity both in the plate and in the wine glass.
Thanks to Bora Cooking System’s chef Ivana Frank, we have paired Arconi to a recipe that is able to exalt the wine’s characteristics.
Aubergine Towers With Goat’s Cheese, Pistachios, Mint And Dried Figs
INGREDIENTS
For two people
- 1 aubergine
- 150 g soft goat’s cheese
- 1 tbsp yogurt
- 30 g chopped pistachios
- 4 – 5 dried figs
- 3 sprigs of mint
- ½ organic lemon – zest and juice
- Olive oil, cooking oil (e.g. cooking olive oil), salt and pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat the Tepan to 220 degrees then smear with cooking oil using the spatula. Cut the aubergine into approx. ½ cm thick slices and place on the Tepan. Season with plenty of salt. Fry the slices of aubergine on both sides until soft and golden brown. Meanwhile, grate the zest of half a lemon and coarsely chop the mint leaves and figs. Add to a small bowl with the pistachios and goat’s cheese and stir well with yogurt, a dash of lemon juice and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
Construct the towers as follows: start with a slice of aubergine, then add 1 tbsp of creamy cheese and yogurt mixture followed by another slice of aubergine. Repeat until each tower has three layers of aubergine and three layers of creamy mixture. Garnish the mixture on top with additional mint leaves and drizzle with a little olive oil.
