traditional sangria
2 bottles chilled dry red wine
1 cup brandy
1 cup orange juice
1/4 cup superfine granulated sugar
2 oranges, cut into thin rounds
2 Meyer lemons, cut into thin rounds
3 Key limes, cut into thin rounds
2 apples, cored and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
2 cups cold club soda
In a large pot or bowl, combine the wine, brandy, orange juice, and sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves. Add the orange, lemon, and lime slices, the apples and refrigerate until well chilled, about 1 hour. Remove from the refrigerator and add the soda. Serve in glasses over ice.
This is an authentic version of the popular wine drink. You can add any fruit that you want, but I find that apples and pears absorb all the rum. This one is not diluted with carbonated beverages. I have much success with red Burgundy wine and white rum, though spiced rum is nice too."
Original recipe yield:
6 servings
INGREDIENTS
1 lemon
1 lime
1 orange
1 1/2 cups rum
1/2 cup white sugar
1 (750 milliliter) bottle dry red wine
1 cup orange juice
DIRECTIONS
Have the fruit, rum, wine, and orange juice well chilled. Slice the lemon, lime and orange into thin rounds and place in a large glass pitcher. Pour in the rum and sugar. Chill in refrigerator for 2 hours to develop the flavors.
When ready to serve, crush the fruit lightly with a wooden spoon and stir in the wine and orange juice. Adjust sweetness to taste.
Grilled Rosemary Shrimp Skewers with Sea Salt
SUBMITTED BY: South Beach Diet - Online
"Enjoy Phase One with this great shrimp dish. Infused with the classic Mediterranean herbs rosemary and thyme, these quick-cooking skewers look fabulous and taste even better. The skewers can be cooked on a ridged cast-iron grill pan, on a home grill or in the broiler. Ask the fishmonger to shell and devein the shrimp for you."
INGREDIENTS
16 extra-large shrimp, shelled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
16 4-inch rosemary skewers (see below)
Sea salt
DIRECTIONS
In a medium non-metal bowl, combine shrimp, oil and thyme. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to 6 hours.
For rosemary skewers: Pull half of the leaves off each stalk, so that leaves remain on one end. Sharpen the other end into a point with a paring knife. Thread shrimp onto the pointed end of each skewer, as shown in photo.
Heat a grill, grill pan, or broiler. Cook shrimp about 3 minutes per side, until they turn opaque and start to curl slightly. Place on serving platter; sprinkle with sea salt.
For 1 16oz glass, fill with ice, fill 1/3 ways with brandy, 1/3 ways with red wine (I like Merlot), and the other 1/3 with Ocean spray Cranberry and Pomegranate juice, add fresh fruit.
If your making a pitcher you'll have to adjust the amounts but this is very good and is clear and not cloudy like when you use a thicker (orange based) juice. It gives it better visual appeal.
