Hello #LoyalRoyals
I’ve given myself a challenge: add one new dish to my stock standard recipe repertoire each week. It has to be easy, budget-friendly and have the potential of becoming a go-to weeknight meal.
This recipe for pork neck steaks with Pesto Princess Chermoula Paste might just fit the bill. Minimal ingredients, maximum flavour. And who knows, a jar of Chermoula in your fridge might trigger all sorts of kitchen creativity 🙂

Delaire Graff Redstone 2015
Perfect match with pork is the Delaire Graff Redstone 2015. A real thumb print of its vintage – the blend is in the style of Bordeaux with 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Malbec, 8% Petit Verdot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 3% Merlot.
Looks like Bottled under natural cork closure in an appropriately Bordeaux-shaped bottle, Redstone has elegant livery. In the glass, it is a deep ruby at the core which pales out to garnet at the edges.
Smells like Blackcurrant, roadside brambles, blueberries. Undertow of oak and its concomitant spices.
Tastes like A generosity of fruit of the dark berry, cherry and blood plum kind. All gently spiced. Excellent mid-palate textures which end in a long bright fruited finish. Some say it is an insult to say easy-to-drink, and that one is damning the wine with faint praise, but this one really is an easy and pleasurable wine to drink.
