- My frequent dinner guests have come to expect that I will be serving spit-roasted lamb, braised lamb shanks, or skewers of lamb tenderloin as the main course. I really do love lamb! Especially because it pairs so well with red wine! For that same reason I also love roast pork - well really anything that pairs perfectly with a beautiful pinot noir is right up my alley. After teaching my courses in Spain, I came home and immediately bought a paella pan and quite often I'm stirring a big pan of chicken, prawn, and sausage paella out on my back deck for a large dinner party. Paella can really be made with any combination of proteins you like. And it's an instant party when you serve it!
