This quick and delicious supper or lunch is easy to make and even easier on the wallet, which means you can enjoy it with a decent Rioja – it really is worth it.
I first fell in love with it four years ago having enjoyed it at our hotel in Haro.
When I make it myself nowadays, I use an aromatic white Rioja like Señorío De Espiga for cooking and a well-rounded red like Sierra Cantabria Rioja Crianza for drinking.
TIP: If you don't have white Rioja for cooking, another white wine can be used as long as it's not an oaked variety.
