Wine Tip
Pinot Meunier from Württemberg, 2011
This light red wine has a pleasing fruit aroma and possesses a mild flavor which complements the slightly sweet teriyaki taste of the lamb skewers. Recommended temperature is 14 – 18°C/61°F.
Step 1
Defrost the peas. Remove the seeds from the chilli pepper and chop finely. Finely grate the ginger. Finely dice the garlic clove and shallot.
