Iβm a long time lurker on this sub and always appreciate all of the insight.
I was hoping for some suggestions on a wine to pair with a dinner Iβm cooking on Friday night. Iβve gotten my hands on some quality veal shank so itβs time to make some osso bucco and risotto. What would you all recommend?
Normally, I know this would warrant an Italian red but my knowledge of wines from this region are limited. We enjoy several varietals but usually from North America, South America, or France. Drier grapes are our preference - usually Cab, Merlot, and Pinot Noir. Iβm willing to spend ~$100 and weβve got several independent dealers as well as large retailers in our area so most things I can usually find.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
So last time, I posted about discovering EverCrisp, which is wheat dextrin, a soluble fiber used in the food industry for creating crispier, more stable batters for frying. I used it with great success mixed with coconut flour for frying shrimp, but I also mentioned having a terrible result with hazelnut flour for veal scallopini... My hypothesis was that the hazelnut flour has too much oil and was "moist", and as a result, the batter was mushy and fell off when frying. Coconut flour, being dryer, worked great.
Well, I'm pleased to say that my hypothesis appears to be correct: tonight, we tried defatted almond flour with EverCrisp for veal Milanese, and it worked even better than the coconut flour! Check out these pics!
We breaded the veal by dipping it in a beaten egg, then a mixture of 80% defatted almond flour (we used NOW Foods brand, available at Whole Foods) and 20% EverCrisp, plus a hearty amount of kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Fried up one batch in ghee, and another in olive oil - no significant difference there. Pan was at roughly 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Finally, topped with spinach, tomatoes, parmesan cheese, olive oil, and a balsamic reduction. And I know the spinach isn't traditional and it should be arugula, and the parmesan should be flaked, not grated, and I'm horribly ashamed, but we didn't have the right versions on hand. But nonetheless, it was great, and the veal was properly crispy on the outside and tender in the center.
Do your worst!
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies π
It really does, I swear!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
There hasn't been a post all year!
