Aromatic Trail

Here is a super simple yet super aromatic dish created specifically to pair with oak-aged red wines, especially merlot, but also cabernet sauvignon or cabernet franc, which all share aromatic tones with the red bell pepper/sesame oil/paprika triumvirate.

Aromatic Tricks

Going from a fish-stuffed yellow bell pepper — one of our recipes published in the 4 volume Papilles pour tous! series — to a beef-stuffed red bell pepper was quite obvious! All that was missing was some paprika and toasted sesame seeds, which have a great synergy with roasted red bell pepper, and the Papilles! aromatic magic happened. Barrel-aged Merlot wines,are the perfect companion to that aromatic synergy.
