Well Spring is officially upon us, and with the days getting longer and daylight saving just a few weeks away we’re starting to think about all the delicious summer fare available in our garden and from local farmer’s markets.
We’re enjoying snow peas at the moment and we love to stir fry, the joy of a busy day dinner that can be popped together quickly and easily with minimal washing up is too much to resist!
We often whip up this delicious “Stir-fried Prawns and Snow Peas” recipe, created specially as a wonderful match for Fairbourne Hand Picked Premium Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. It features in the recipe book “Celebrate Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc” by Belinda Jackson and Jan Bilton.
