Orzo with ragout and Fat Bastard Shiraz

Wow, we are sooooooo behind on posts. Past suppers have become hazy. But I'm diligent, and I want to be up to date.



We made this for supper a few weeks back:





















In case you've never had orzo, it's like a combination of pasta and rice--very firm and dense. We made a stew of onion, garlic, tomatoes, eggplant and feta cheese. The salad is mixed greens, fresh grapefruit, slivered almonds and olives.

Yum!


I really like Fat Bastard. I've never been disappointed by either the reds or whites. I like dependable wines, good choices for dinner parties and eating at home. The shiraz is full and nice. Not exceptional, but solid and a good value for the price.
