Fast Five - Tiann Lordan from Hartford Family Winery - Braaibroodjie
Ingredients:
1. Bread (sourdough is yummy)
2. Chutney - peach is best :)
3. Tomato
4. Cheese
5. Onions
Instructions: Slather bread with chutney, slice tomatoes, onion and cheese, put on bread.
Have a fire, let it burn out, put it on a griddle on the coals, place the sandwich directly on the griddle. Before flipping, press the sandwich to make sure it doesn't fall apart!
He would pair this with a Pinot Noir maybe one from the Sonoma Coast with some spice and earthiness.
