Baron de Ley Club Privado Reserva Rioja

The Baron de Ley winery was founded by a prestigious group of Rioja professionals in 1985. They were quite unique in their approach as they modelled the winery on a Medoc chateaux, which was a pioneering move at that time for producers in the Denominacion de Origen Calificada Rioja. This wine is aged in new oak casks for 20 months prior to resting in the bottle for 2 years before release. It has definite claret qualities; the nose is layered with ripe cherry, toasty oak and a touch of cigar box. Lively, ripe, red fruit with dried tobacco and nutty vanilla overtones, round tannins with an expressive woody finish. Rioja wine can be excellent value for money and has terrific cellaring potential. Buy this wine if you like: Well rounded reds, with soft fruit and toasty character, easy drinking for upfront pleasure.

Description

Everyone loves this & its great for those people like me who are not too good at pastry.

Method

1
Preheat oven 200'/gas 6. Heat oil in large pan & fry onions & garlic for 5 mins until soft. Push onion to side & add the crumbled sausages, fennel seeds & chilli (keep to stated amount as will be too hot with more). Saute until sausage is cooked through & beginning to crisp. Transfer to a large bowl & set aside. Unroll pastry & roll slightly bigger then trim edges to make a round; place on a lighty greased baking sheet. Add brocolli & half the mozarella to the sausage mixture. Pile into centre of pastry, leaving a 3' border. Scatter over drained tomatoes, the rest of the mozarella & the pine nuts. Pull pastry in over two thirds of the filling to make an open tart, pleating edges as you go. Bake for approx 25 mins until pastry is golden. Serve with a mixed salad.
