Wine marinated chicken taco bites #bigbanyanexperiences
Wine marinated chicken taco bites turned out to be such fun little bites, and a great snack to serve, with wine perhaps? Though not traditionally used in a marinade, wine adds nice flavour to meats.

Persian Roasted Eggplant Walnut Dip … earthy, smokey, moorish, delicious!
This Persian Roasted Eggplant & Walnut Dip has a lot to offer. The twice used garlic, the walnuts, then the creaminess from Greek yogurt make it endearing. The caramelised sweet onions and garlic add more depth to the flavour. Play around with ingredients to suit your palette. That's the beauty of dips.
