Théo Dancer’s Roasted Cauliflower & Aligoté
What a pleasure it is to welcome back Morad El-Hajjaji to Thursday’s Food Letter. A lifelong wine enthusiast, the owner of the Inda-Bar restaurant offers us a magnificent 2021 vintage Aligoté from Burgundy winemaker Théo Dancer, paired with a vegetal dish of roasted cauliflower with tandoor spices, burrata and korma sauce. The sweetness brought by the korma sauce (made with dried coconut, marsala spices, dried fruit and ginger) balances with the tension of this elegant white Burgundy. Morad particularly appreciates the wines of this new generation of winemakers, who work on instinct, choosing the best grapes from trusted growers with identical methods. In a glass, it’s all the soul and energy of the Dancer family.
