Welcome to a culinary journey that celebrates simple meals featuring sustainably grown ingredients. We’ve partnered with Bonterra, a top organic winery that offers Regenerative Organic Certified® wines as part of their Bonterra Estate Collection, to bring you a series of pairings that will serve both your taste buds and the planet.
The Pairing Crescendo
For the final pairing in our series – we present you with a delectable Amaranth Mushroom “Risotto” using SIMPLi's Regenerative Organic Certified® Amaranth and Bonterra’s bold, full-bodied Regenerative Organic Certified® Cabernet Sauvignon. The marriage of Bonterra's Cabernet Sauvignon and SIMPLi's Amaranth is truly a match made in culinary heaven. The wine's dark fruit notes and the risotto's rich earthiness create a symphony of taste and aromatics that resonate with each sip and each bite.
SIMPLi's Regenerative Organic Certified® Amaranth
SIMPLi's Regenerative Organic Certified® Amaranth takes center stage in this dish. With its nutty, earthy elegance, Amaranth provides a unique base for the “risotto.” Don’t let the name fool you though—this is not your traditional risotto. As one of the most protein-rich plant-based protein sources, amaranth is a nutrient-dense alternative to rice. Its unique depth of flavor pairs harmoniously with the wine's robust character.
Regenerative Organic Certified® Cabernet Sauvignon
Extreme elevation and rare Redvine soils in the Mendocino County mountains site create rich layers of flavor in Bonterra’s inaugural vintage of Regenerative Organic Certified® Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine boasts ripe tannins and a symphony of aromas including black currant, black cherry, leather, tobacco, and pencil shavings. Its full-bodied nature makes it the perfect companion for the Amaranth Mushroom “Risotto.”
Whether you're looking to impress your guests or indulge in a sensory experience of your own, this pairing will bring you on a journey of flavor that leaves a lasting impression. So, raise your glass and savor this extraordinary culinary experience that celebrates simple ingredients and the bounty of regenerative organic agriculture.
