Here's 5 simple food and wine pairings for you to try.Butternut, feta and tomato tartI like to cheat with my cooking and therefore buy my puff pastry (who even has time to make that stuff anyway?).This recipe is so simple you could probably do it intoxicated. All you need:- 2 small (big enough for two people) sheets of puff pastry.- 1 butternut.- Small punnet of baby tomatoes.- Feta.- Seasoning.- Balsamic, just a tablespoon.- Olive oil. Same as above.Peel and cut the butternut into small, 1cm chunks.Score the puff pastry and by that, I mean, using a knife, gently make a margin around the inside of each sheet. The outside line will then "puff" up.Roast the butternut and tomatoes, with a good drizzle of olive oil and balsamic, in the oven until golden and soft. A slight burn is fine.Pop the mixture into the middle of the puff pastry pieces. Place in oven at 180 until the pastry edges rise and it's cooked through.Tuck in.What to serve it with: Unwooded chardonnay.I paired mine with Obikwa chardonnay.

Fruity and filling.Recipe from: http://www.taste.com.au/ 7 Ingredients. 4 servings. Almost too simple. What to serve it with: wooded chardonnay or, if you're feeling brave, cabernet sauvignon.Cab sav might seem like an odd mix but the tannins in cab just adore fatty foods.
