​My apologies folks for the delay in getting these recipes up and on the website!  We have been keeping busy around here!  The recipes featured at the December 10th Candlelight Night are as follows:

Spicy White Chicken Chili
You will need:
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • Diced sweet red, orange and yellow peppers
  • ½ white onion diced
  • A jar of medium salsa
  • 32 oz. of chicken stock
  • Frozen package of sweet corn
  • Two cans of white beans - drained
  • One brick of pepper jack cheese – shredded
  • 1 Cup of sour cream
  • ½ Cup of cream cheese
  • fresh cilantro
  • Sriracha & crushed red pepper flakes to taste
  • Crushed corn chips (optional)
In a medium stock pot, heat the olive oil and add the chicken breasts.  Over medium-high heat, sear the chicken for about five minutes on each side.  Add the diced peppers and onions and allow them to sweat.  Once onions are translucent, add the jar of salsa and the chicken stock & reduce heat to low.  At this point add your sriracha, red pepper flakes and cilantro & allow the chicken to simmer with the lid on for about 30 minutes.   After simmering, shred the chicken using two forks and add the corn and beans.  Heat the chili on low for another 15-20 minutes then add the pepper jack cheese, sour cream and cream cheese.  I did not add crushed corn chips to the chili the night of our event, but I have I the past and its pretty great and helps to thicken the chili!  Serve topped with dollop of sour cream, corn chips and cilantro leaves for garnish.  Most everyone will love this dish and it pairs well with Deer Run Riesling!
 
Scott’s Salmon Wellington with a Creamy Dill Sauce
You will need:
  • Puff Pastry Sheet
  • Fresh Salmon
  • Fresh Dill
  • 2 Lemons
  • Cream Cheese softened
For the Dill Sauce you will need:
  • 2 tablespoons of butter
  • 1 tablespoon of flour
  • Whole milk
  • ½ tsp mint leaves
  • Dill
 
Preheat oven to 425. Mix the softened cream cheese with the juice from half of a lemon and a good amount of dill to make an herbed cream cheese mixture.  Rollout the dough and cut into squares large enough to wrap the salmon piece you will be adding.  Cut the salmon into 4” squares and top with your herbed cream cheese mixture (about a tablespoon per square).  Add more fresh dill to the top of the mixture and wrap it tightly and pinch the ends together.  Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. 
 
To make the dill sauce:
Brown 2 tablespoons of butter and add 1 tablespoon of flour to thicken.  Pour in milk until you reach a desired consistency.  Add dill, fresh lemon juice and ½ teaspoon of mint leaves to the sauce.  Serve the sauce over the salmon wellington and pair with Deer Run Traminette.
 
Indian Spice Roasted Beets in Creamy Yogurt Sauce
 
I found this recipe online from the NY Times food section.  Feel free to click on the link below for the full recipe and reviews of this robustly flavored side dish.  We paired the beets with our full bodied Noiret which held up to the strong spices of the dish nicely.
