Marinated Lamb Chops with a Spicy Mango Salsa, and Chinese Tiger Salad from John Gregory-Smith's Mighty Spice Cookbook, served with roasted potatoes.  Sorry, neither recipe is available on the web.
We give both a 4--lots of delicious, complementary flavors!
Wine: Vale do Bomfim Douro Reserva 2004. If you look at the recipes, you'll see the challenge in finding a matching wine. This wine is fruity, not very tannic, so not unreasonable, but definitely not a perfect match.
