Fried Vegetable Fritters
"Serve this dish as an appetizer. It would be lovely before serving this Pot Roast. The spices will excite your palate before you digging into the savory meat dish. These spicy vegetable fritters would pair wonderfully with a dry and fruity rosé. If you have a red wine you like best, try this recipe with the rosé version. But, our suggestion is to lean towards a heavier rosé, one made from a heavy red grape. See our suggestions below. *Rosé of Cabernet Franc *Rosé of Cabernet Sauvignon *Rosé of Syrah *Rosé of Tempranillo *Tavel Rosé "
