Just made the squash risotto have to agree apple cider vinegar too much
added more black pepper and sun dried tomatoes (homemade out of my veggies garden) and awesome.
Serve at once with maybe some grated cheezly on top and
some more black pepper.
Chinese five spice blend contains cinnamon, star anise, fennel, szechuan peppercorns and cloves, so you can either leave it out of the recipe completely, or add a few shakes of ground cinnamon, ground fennel, and black pepper (whole szechuan peppercorns can be found in Asian grocery stores, but if you don't have them,
more black pepper will add a little extra heat).
The tasting notes describe it as «very refined,
more black pepper than blackcurrant, a gorgeous warm climate style, black cherry, damson and blueberry.
Our only criticism is that it needed a little more spice —
more black pepper and maybe soaking the chicken in a spicy buttermilk bath overnight like Martha Stewart does with her oil fried chicken.
Top with
some more black pepper.
