Paired to perfection
MONTECASINO - One of the stands not to miss out on at this year's Pick n Pay Taste of Joburg at Montecasino is the JC Le Roux tent.
Seasoned chef, Martin Kobald will whet the crowd’s appetite with sweet and savoury bites paired to perfection with JC Le Roux Méthode Cap Classique.
Austrian-born, Kobald is the honorary president of the South African Chefs’ Association.
He will present three bespoke pairings that each bring out the unique flavour of JC Le Roux Cap Classiques: La Vallée, La Vallée Rosé and the refreshing Brut.
Boasting creamy, buttery tones the La Vallée will be matched with a vanilla poached pear en croute, described by Kobald as “a valley full of fruitfulness as sweet as honey and embraced by pastry”.
For the blushing La Vallée Rosé, with its hint of sweetness, Kobald has chosen a rosé duck and pineapple spring roll dusted with a five-spice powder and drizzled with plum sauce.
Kobald’s choice pairing for the Brut is his Brut oxtail pie which is packed with hearty flavours which meld seamlessly with the Brut’s Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
As a final touch, he has added a demi-glace rich sauce for this mouth-watering bite.
Catch Kobald at the JC Le Roux stand at the Pick n Pay Taste of Joburg Festival at the Montecasino outdoor event area from 25 to 28 September. Tickets cost R80.
