Tempura-Battered Halibut w/Sparkling Wine

In the event you haven’t viewed the Wine Trail Traveler Fall Quarterly, below is one of the recipes that is also available in the Fall Quarterly. I love recipes that use Sparkling Wine or Champagne like this one does. What wines do you enjoy cooking with?
Have a wonderful weekend!

Cheers, Kathy

Tempura-Battered Halibut

Ingredients

3 lbs halibut, cut into 1-oz pieces-about 4 per person
3 c flour
3 T corn starch
1 T baking powder
2 t salt
2 t sugar
3 c cold Domaine Ste. Michelle Sparkling Wine
Canola or peanut oil for frying extra flour for dredging

Directions

1. Heat oil in a large, deep pan for frying. Add enough oil so it is at least 3-4 inches deep, but is less than half way up the sides of the pan as the oil will foam up during cooking.

2. Using a deep fry thermometer, bring the temperature to 350-375 degrees F. Be sure to maintain
this temperature while frying to ensure proper cooking.

3. Combine all the dry ingredients together in a bowl and mix well.

4. Add the sparkling wine and whisk gently just to incorporate. Do not overmix.

5. Dredge the fish in flour and then dip in the batter. Fry until golden brown. The same batter can be
used for vegetables or chicken.

1/2 c soy sauce
1/2 c mirin (rice wine)
