Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:

Serving Tip:
Serve this with a tangy creamy curry coleslaw for a complete meal or pair it with grilled vegetables for a lighter option. Don’t forget the pickles!
Wine Advice:
For a smoky, sweet, and savory sandwich like this, you need a wine that can handle all that flavor without getting lost. A fruity red wine like a Merlot would be a fantastic choice. Its dark fruit notes will beautifully complement the sweet brown sugar and the smoky undertones. If you prefer something lighter, a chilled glass of sparkling water with a twist of lemon is a surprisingly refreshing pairing that cuts through the richness.
