Wine pairing
If you’re eating this as a dish in its own, then appreciate that it’s comfort food which doesn’t really make any demands of a wine. You could look to match the texture of what’s on the plate with what’s in the glass and here a medium-bodied wooded Chardonnay or Chenin Blanc will work well. Alternatively, an off-dry Riesling will have both the freshness to cut through the dish’s creaminess and the sweetness to offset its saltiness.
