Ready! Sit! Eat! Yep, this will race straight to your sun-longing soul! Tender, free-range pork (can't you just see them rolling in the clover?) from the Southeast Food Network braised in fresh-squeezed lemon juice, white wine and extra virgin olive oil; simmered with Nettle Tips in the prime of their season.
Light, zangy,(yes, we made that word up) yet somehow substantial, chock full of sun as Nettles are with an amount of chlorophyll that matches human hemoglobin, but with a Magnesium ring at their core: medical uses for the 3 A's--allergies, asthma, arthritis--to liver cleansing, and prevention of hair loss. Yep! It has been a rainy season!
Served with a chunk of Wisconsin cow's milk feta.
We still prefer this dish with the dry, full-bodied rose, Kleoni; it seems to ignite the dish with light, but try it also with the nearly effervescent Zoe, pictured here, or go with the light red, Skouros, a blend of cab and Agiorgitiko.
