About the Dish
A red wine with a purplish ruby color, moderately sweet tannins and a good balance of acidity. The key is to thoroughly stir-fry the eggplant so that the sweet flavour that oozes out from the lamb is coated in the eggplant. Stewed tomatoes, dried herbs and balsamic vinegar combine with wine to create a simple yet rich dining table.
