Serves: 8 people, a homey, dig-in food that makes a great family dinner.

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon butter

Cooking spray

2 cups chopped onion

½ cup chopped green bell pepper

1/3 cup diced seeded poblano chile or 1 (4.5-ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained

1 (11.5-ounce) can refrigerated corn bread twists

Directions:

1.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2.  Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat.  Add onion, pepper, poblano chile, and garlic; sauté 5 minutes or until tender.  Stir in cumin and coriander; cook 2 minutes.  Stir in vinegar, scraping pan to loosen browned bits.

WineGuyMike’s wine pairing:

2006 Ryan Patrick Rock Island Red Blend from the Columbia River Valley in Washington

2006 Rock Island Red

Rock Island Red is the wine that keeps the customers coming back. This well-balanced red table wine contains Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Alluring black cherry, currant and allspice aromas are followed by a clean burst of berry and cherry flavors that pair well with food. Fruit dominates, but there is a note of vanilla bean and coffee coming through the smooth and pleasant finish.

Winemaker’s Notes Primary Fermentation Stainless steel tanks with mixing 2X daily Secondary Fermentation Malolactic fermentation in barrel Alcohol Content 14.1%

This is a very nice table wine that you will enjoy with this great Chicken Potpie recipe.  Nice for a cold winters day.  I recommend visiting the Ryan Patrick Tasting Room in magnificent Leavenworth, Washington.  Leavenworth is a beautiful Bavarian village that is frequently recognized in Sunset Magazine.  From my table to yours.
