Here’s one of Gallo Family Vineyards’ recipes that pairs well with Gallo Family Vineyards White Zinfandel: Smokey grilled potato salad
A
rich and smokey take on traditional potato salad, this kicked up version will become a staple at your backyard picnics. The potatoes might seem a bit dry coming off the grill, but adding the dressing while the potatoes are still war m allows the dressing to be fully absorbed. The bold flavor and rich texture pairs well with our Gallo Family Vineyards® White Zinfandel.
4-5 large Yukon gold potatoes 5 Tbsp olive oil 1 Tbsp chopped rosemary leaves 2 tsp smoked paprika 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp salt 2 tsp ground pepper ½ pound chorizo sausage, casing removed 2 stalks celery, diced ½ tbsp mustard seed ¾ cup sherry vinegar 1 bunch green onion, sliced Preheat grill to medium high heat, clean and lightly oil grates. Slice potatoes into ¼ inch rounds and lightly
toss with 2 Tbsp olive oil, rosemary, paprika, garlic, salt and pepper. Grill p o t at o e s fo r 4 - 5 m i nu t e s p e r s i d e, tur ning once, until cooked through but not soft. Carefully remove potatoes from grill with a metal spatula and set aside, covering to keep warm. Brown chorizo in a sauté pan over medium heat until cooked, breaking up as you stir, remove with slotted spoon to drain on paper towels. Add celery to same pan and sauté until barely soft, about three minutes, stir in mustard seeds and cook for about 1 m i nu t e m o re. T u r n o f f h e at a n d whisk in vinegar and remaining olive
oil, taste and season again with salt and pepper. Pour dressing over warm potatoes and mix carefully, the warm potatoes should absorb a majority of the dressing, adding additional olive oil and vinegar as necessary to keep moist. Stir in green onions, reserving some for garnish. Yield: 4-6 servings Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 25 minutes
