COD AND POTATO CROQUETTES WINE PAIRING
Croquettes are French delicacy typically made from a mixture of mashed potatoes and seafood or meat, coated in breadcrumbs, and fried until golden and crispy on the outside. This rendition by Chef Justin Monson uses potatoes and fresh cod, resulting in a tender interior complemented by a satisfyingly crunchy exterior achieved through the deep-fried panko coating.
To fully enjoy this recipe, pair you croquettes with a glass of wine. The perfect cod and potato croquettes wine pairing is BENOM's Hoc, a blend of Carignan, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah from Paso Robles. The freshness and acidity in the wine expertly complements the dish by cutting through the richness of the crisp, fried exterior while the decadent interior brings out the soft red fruit flavors in the wine.
Whether you're a seasoned home cook or just starting out in the kitchen, this cod and potato croquettes wine pairing and recipe will captivate you. Gather your ingredients, open a bottle Hoc, and enjoy!
