2024 The Spell
51% Syrah, 49% Cabernet Sauvignon. 409 cases. Bold, savory, and brooding — The Spell is LXV's signature red blend, marrying the peppery depth of Syrah with the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Umami spice based on Black Truffle Salt and Cumin is LXV's most popular spice blend. We have vegan options here too.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Macaroni (cooked)
- 1/4 lb each of Three Cheeses: Cheddar, Fontina, Gruyere
- 1/4 cup cream
- 1/2 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
- LXV Touch: A few strands of saffron
Method
- Soak Saffron in 2 tbsp of warmed cream
- Melt the cheeses in a heavy bottom pan, on a very low flame
- When the cheeses get "gooey", add all the cream including the saffron cream
- Simmer
- Add the Umami packet
- Add the Macaroni to the cream/cheese sauce and transfer to a shallow baking dish
- Sprinkle the breadcrumbs and bake for around 20 mins or a beautiful brown crust
- Serve with a glass of LXV The Spell.
- Vegan Option
- You can use Vegan cheese options and water instead of cream
- Umami Hummus
- When making hummus from scratch, use Umami instead of the salt for the salt normally used to season the hummus. The result is a savory treat with
- a slight kick of the Black Truffle Salt.
- Roasted Potatoes.
- Cut your potatoes into 1 inch cubes and toss them in Olive oil and Umami. Bake them at 375F for 30 to 35 minutes, turning once.
- Truffle Popcorn
- If you love the aroma and flavor of truffle, there are very few things you can't put this salt on. Try in on popcorn, tofu, beans ... the list goes on!
