Syrah/Malbec 2006 

Ohui Syrah/malbec blend has a tantalising bouquet of dark fruit with some dark plum characters, cigar box aromas and a touch of gaminess. The palate is of rich dark plums and dark fruits carrying through to finish with a smokey game character. A lovely wine to enjoy now. Take advantage of our price special - now only $16/bottle.

Smoked Chicken Salad

Serves 4:

2 tbs jasmine tea leaves

2 tbs brown sugar

1 cinnamon stick, broken in half

3/4 tsp Chinese five spice

3 small (about 600g) chicken breast fillets

100g mesculan salad

2 Lebanese cucumbers, halved lengthways, diagonally sliced

1 small red onion, halved, thinly sliced

1/2 cup firmly packed fresh coriander leaves

1/4 cup loosely packed fresh mint

1 1/2 tbs fresh lemon juice

1 tbs soy sauce

1 tbs olive oil

Freshly ground black pepper

Method

Line a wok with foil. Combine the tea leaves, sugar, cinnamon stick and Chinese five spice in a small bowl. Spread the mixture over the bottom of the wok. Place a steaming rack in the wok. Place chicken breasts around the outer edge of the rack. Tightly cover the wok with foil. Place over medium heat and cook for 20 minutes or until chicken is just cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside for 15 minutes to cool.

Place the salad leaves, cucumber, onion, coriander and mint in a large serving bowl, and gently toss to combine. Whisk together the lemon juice, soy sauce and oil in a small bowl. Taste and season with pepper.

Diagonally slice the chicken breasts. Add the chicken to the salad. Drizzle with dressing and gently toss to combine. Divide salad among bowls to serve.
