Light, satisfying summer fare is what’s on the menu daily here at Superman Cooks. As we enter into our fifth month of working from home, we are more inspired than ever to experiment with new recipes. Summer is the best time to do that, with so many fresh & flavorful vegetables available for the picking. 

Mer Soleil SILVER bottle, wine glass with fish tostadas

When our friends at Mer Soleil asked us to come up with some summer pairings for their SILVER unoaked chardonnay, we strongly believed that a fish tostada would measure up. But we knew we needed to add that “special something” to make it worthy of this special wine. Pickled veggies and & special sauce would do the trick. Inspired by our favorite Banh Mi sandwiches, these Vietnamese Style Fish Tostadas are a deliciously satisfying summer meal that is perfectly complemented by a glass of SILVER.

How to Pickle Veggies (carrots, radishes, onions):

  1. Peel and shred 3 carrots and place in a heat resistant jar (one you can cover and refrigerate).
  2. Place 1 sliced onions and 1 cup radishes (sliced thin) in a jar with carrots.
  3. Boil water. Add tablespoon sugar, 3 garlic cloves. Remove from heat and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Add ½ C cider vinegar, pouring over veggies until covered, making sure 1 garlic clove makes it into each jar.
  4. Cover veggies and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Mer Soleil SILVER’s crisp, fresh flavors make it a favorite wine at our house, especially during these hot summer months. Our partnership with Caymus Vinyards has taught us a true appreciation for Monterey County grapes and this incredible unoaked chardonnay. Made in neutral vessels, this wine has a very distinct character; it is fresh, crisp and bright, just like the fish tostadas we made to pair it with.
