Pork collar butt with wheat, cumin and sour cream with a glass of Thrapsathiri P.G.I. Crete

Pairing: A full bodied wine, which stands, without being “lost”, next to the dish and highlights the aromas of spices and its earthy character.

2 medium onions

2 cloves of garlic

1 carrot

Extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp tomato paste

1 fresh tomato
