Ingredients List
Important Notes
🔥 Ensure the red wine is brought to a proper boil to fully evaporate the alcohol before marinating.
💡 Marinating for about 2 days allows the Pione grapes to firm up and deepens their natural sweetness.
⚠️ The leftover marinating liquid is intended for seasoning purposes and is not suitable for drinking as-is.
✨ The balance of acidity and sweetness makes it a perfect pairing not only for fish dishes but also for salty ingredients like spicy cod roe.
