- 1/8 tsp Dried hot red-pepper flakes

Directions
Pairing notes: Delicious seafood and tomato flavors pair well with the bright acidity of both the Rosé of Pinot noir and the Gewürztraminer.
Chef's tip: If you don't like the flavor of fennel, you can leave it out as there are great flavors in the recipe. We also alternate between using an onion or two large shallots.
