In 1979 he founded the Woodbridge Winery with a vision to create delicious, smooth wines that enrich everyday experiences. The clean, fruit-driven, approachable wines of Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi are the centrepiece of countless gatherings of family and friends. Buy this wine if you like: Full bodied wine with ripe red fruit and toasty oak character.

Description

Salsa that can be the base for various dishes. Try adding other ingredients for an exciting variation

Method

  1. 1

    Dice the green pepper, red onion, tomato (not the seeds, just the flesh) and cucumber (not the seeded, mushy part) into small dice (approx Β½ - ΒΎ cm ).

    Finley chop and add the coriander.

    Mix your chopped ingredients along with the coriander, pinch of salt and pepper, fish sauce, enough sweet chilli sauce to coat everything and just a few drips of olive oil.

    Stir all and taste to see if it needs anything extra.

Chef's Tips

Tip 1: Quantities may vary depending on how many need feeding.

Tip 2: Fish sauce is only a quarter teaspoon so if you don't have it or have no further use for fish sauce then don't worry about it, just leave it out.

Tip 3: If the season makes the veg a little bitter just add some sugar.

Tip4: This is the basic recipe and various items can be added for example – mayonnaise and chopped cooked chicken breast. All of this mixed together you wil find that the dish becomes very "…Barbara don't you have an allergy to fish sauce, you better pass that over my way…") or maybe some diced mango or diced avocado...

Hello 'Twinkle toes'!!

Are you American?

Cilantro and coriander are the same thing...sorry for the confusion...good job there is no scallions or egg plant!! (spring onions or aubergine)
Cheers,
