Just in time for Fall: Cocoa Short Ribs with Cauliflower Leek Puree 🍷
This recipe was created to pair specifically with the inaugural vintage of Hensel West HWX flagship Proprietary Red W**e
The richness of the slow-braised beef draws out the w**e’s dark fruit and more nuanced characteristics, while cocoa subtly echoes HWX’s mocha notes. Black pepper and fresh herbs complement its minerality and subtle oak notes, while the pillowy cauliflower and leek purée brings balance to the richness of the dish
It’s a pairing that feels especially fitting for HWX - rich and layered, yet balanced and refined. I hope you’ll enjoy making it at home alongside a bottle of HWX!
