Food & Wine — pork

This pork roast is delicious and very easy to make for a family or guests.  We enjoyed it with the Beckmen Cuvee Le Bec as I really like a light bodied red with pork.

"Our dinner last night was terrific with the Glatzer Blaufrankisch Red. The recipe for the Braised Red Cabbage with Apples and Onions is simple but delicious.  It has always been a family favorite at my house.  My daughter is vegan, so if she is home I use vegan sausage for this recipe.  This cabbage dish is also nice with roasted pork and even makes a nice side for Thanksgiving dinner.  It can also be made ahead and reheated on the day it is to be used" Nanette Berning-Pate.Servings: 8Ingredients: 2 tablespoons butter 1 medium yellow onion, peeled, halved and thinly...

Have any extra ingredients from your weekend meal? Don't let it go to waste, and make this slow cooking, aromatic and savory Cassoulet. Cassoulet originated from South of France, so we suggest you pair this with  Syrah blend.  The pungent, wild flavors of pork and lamb will be tamed when served with Syrah.
