The perfect marriage

Sweetcorn, capsicum and stuffed olive salad

(serves 6)

This is a wonderfully colourful salad that can be made a day or two in advance from freezer and pantry items. Serve with barbecued meats, left-over roast chicken or stuffed potatoes – and of course, a glass or two of Five Stones Sauvignon Blanc Semillon.

INGREDIENTS
Olive oil
1 tsp curry powder
1 tsp turmeric
1⁄2 tsp dried oregano
1 red onion, diced
1 red capsicum, finely diced
1 green capsicum, finely diced
4 cups frozen sweetcorn
1⁄2 cup pimiento-stuffed olives, cut in half
1/3 cup mayonnaise (or to taste)
Salt and pepper

METHOD

• Warm the olive oil in a medium size fry pan.
• Add the curry powder and turmeric and stir for a minute.
• Increase the heat to medium and add the diced red onion, and capsicums.
• When softened, add the frozen corn and oregano, increasing the heat a little.
• Stir until warmed through and the moisture has evaporated.
• Let cool to room temperature, then season and stir through the olives and mayonnaise.
• If desired, garnish with parsley or chives.
• Keep covered in the fridge until required.

Five Stones is a truly boutique winery in the heart of the famous Margaret River wine region of Western Australia. With grapes grown in the Beckett’s Flat vineyard, the beautiful Mediterranean-style climate together with gravelly loam soils and pristine environmental conditions are the backdrop to producing some of Australia’s best-known premium kosher wine.

The Five Stones Sauvignon Blanc Semillon is a blend for which the Margaret River region is well known. An attractive nose of citrus and pink grapefruit leads to a palate showing pear, pink grapefruit and mineral characters. This semi-dry wine has a clean finish – and is perfectly paired with the fresh bursts of flavour found in a sweetcorn, capsicum and stuffed olive salad.
