Fleurie Georges Duboeuf

The most favored of all the Beaujolais Cru, Fleurie enjoys a very floral bouquet with a refined, smooth taste. An elegant, beautifully made more-ish red with wild strawberry fruit and a fleshy texture.Buy this wine if you like: Light-bodied red with ripe fruit, perfect slightly chilled on a warm summer afternoon.

Method

  1. 1

    1. Cover shank with water in a big saucepan and bring to boil for 15 mins.

    2. Replace water then bring back to the boil and boil for approximately 60 mins.

    3. Take the shank out of the water and cut off all the fat then cut up the lean meat into bite sized pieces.

    4. Return to existing water then add lentils, the amount determining how thick the soup will be.

    5. Cut up the onion, carrots and potatoes into small pieces and add to the pan. Then add pepper to taste.

    6. Bring all to the boil then let simmer for approx 45 mins, stirring to prevent sticking.

    7. If the consistancy is a bit thick add water.
