This is the perfect dish to open a bottle of Gewurztraminer. If you’re not familiar with this wine you are in for a treat. Hailing from foothills of the Alps, this fragrant wine has a cult-like following but at a value price point. On the nose and taste, tropical fruits and citrus along with the telltale lychee notes and honey are typical of this varietal. The wine has a low to medium acidity profile and is a perfect accompaniment to spicy foods.

1 onion, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
