Something Fishy

Not rating the wine tonight as it wouldn't be fair - it's been open for 3 days already. This is more of a "I threw dinner together and it turned out great and I wanted to share" kind of meal.

Wine: 2007 Anne Amie Müller-Thurgau Cuvée A
Meal: Deep-fried Catfish and green bean casserole

The wine is much drier than the last Müller-Thurgau I reviewed, but much of the flavors remain the same. It's quite lovely, and is clearly holding up well after a few days in the fridge. Goes quite nicely with the meal, as well - its light flavor compliments the lightness of the fish.

Want to make this meal?

Deep-fried Catfish
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp white pepper
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 egg
1 Tbsp water
1/2 lb catfish nuggets

Mix together in a bowl the cornmeal, flour, peppers and spices. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Coat the nuggets in the egg wash and then dredge in the flour mixture.

Heat a deep-fryer to 375 degrees. Place the nuggets in the oil and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown.

Dipping sauce
1 Tbsp mayonnaise
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp horseradish
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Whisk together all ingredients in a small bowl until smooth.

Side with your favorite green bean casserole (I just heated up frozen Green Giant green bean casserole).

Enjoy!
