Syrah:

Originally grown in France’s Northern Rhône Valley (where it is a noble variety) this grape has spread to Australia, California, Washington, Italy and Spain. In the Rhone region this grape produces deeply colored wines with full body and firm tannin, however in Australia, where it is known as Shiraz, the wines are lighter and fruitier. Aromas and flavors for these wines vary as much as their geographical breadth suggests: berries, smoked meat, bell peppers, even tar.


Shiraz:

Australian name for the grape known as Syrah in France.

Rigatoni with Pork

Rated

Ingredients

1 small onion
1/2 carrot
1/2 celery stalk
2 garlic cloves
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
5 oz ground pork
1 can (14 ounces) chopped Italian plum tomatoes
3-1/2 cups rigatoni
freshly shaved Parmesan cheese, to serve
Fresh basil leaves, to garnish
1/4 cup white wine

Preparation

Chop all the fresh vegetables finely, either in a food processor or by hand. Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet or saucepan until just sizzling, add the chopped vegetables and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 3 - 4 minutes.

Add the ground pork and cook gently for 2 - 3 minutes, breaking up any lumps in the meat with a wooden spoon.

Lower the heat and fry for another 2 - 3 minutes, stirring frequently, then stir in the wine. Mix in the tomatoes, whole basil leaves, salt to taste and plenty of pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover and simmer for 40 minutes, stirring from time to time.

Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package. Just before draining it, add a ladleful or two of the cooking water to the sauce. Stir well, then taste the sauce for seasoning.

Drain the pasta, add it to the pan of sauce and toss well. Serve immediately, sprinkled with the basil and shaved Parmesan.
