lightly packed fresh cilantro 2

garlic cloves, peeled 1

jalapeno chile, seeded and chopped fine 118milliliters

Recommended wine: Cava, Grenache, Shiraz

Chili works really well with Cava, Grenache, and Shiraz. These juicy reds don't have too much tannin (important for spicy foods), but a sparkling wine like cava can tame the heat even better. The Masia Puigmolto Can Xa Brut Cava with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.
