Enjoying sherry wine / pairings and recipes / Oloroso
Cooking time: 1 hour
Cut the aubergine in 4 thick rounds and leave to soak in salted water for 5 minutes. Dry with kitchen paper.
Preheat the grill to medium. Prick a few holes in the skin around each slice and brush all over with olive oil. Grill for 10 minutes, turning.
Meanwhile, mix together the red miso, mirin, sake, sesame paste and castor sugar. Use to brush over the aubergine slices and then grill for a few more minutes. Sprinkle with poppy seeds and serve.
Serve with ginger and sweet radishes.

The ideal temperature at which to serve an Oloroso is at between 12 and 14ºC.
This is the most suitable wine to accompany red meat and game. It combines perfectly with meat stews and casseroles; especially gelatinous meat such as bull's tail or cheeks. The perfect match for wild mushrooms and well cured cheeses.
Serve it between 12° and 14° C in a white wine glass.
Ideal accompaniment for prolonging the sensation of intense flavours.
Its composition allows it to be stored in open bottles for months.
