PIQUANT COCONUT CHILI VERDE

"I love fusion cooking and loved white chili the first time I tasted it! Using Chinese methods, I velveted the chicken prior to cooking, resulting in succulent meat. My chili combines creamy coconut milk, zesty ginger, fragrant coriander and savory miso with fiery and tangy Mexican Salsa Verde. Optional extra jalapenos ensure that this chili has the right kick! Black Box Sauvignon Blanc, with its crisp sweetness, hints of tropical fruit, and vibrant acidity, provides a delightful contrast to my savory, umami-packed chili, harmoniously balancing its tartness and heat."
