The guest chef of this month's issue of print Panorama was Mátyás Szik Szik, who has won the national championship of the Hungarian Sommelier Association three times in recent years, thus becoming the perpetual champion. Mátyás - as a regular barbecue enthusiast - was asked by our editorial team to test BENS’ crabs on an OFYR oven and to recommend a matching wine.
Mátyás Szik is no stranger to gastronomy; the gentleman has triumphed three times in the most prestigious domestic championship of his profession, and is now entitled to wear the title of „Perpetual Champion Sommelier” for the rest of his life. Whenever time permits, Mátyás enjoys the art of grilling, and he always gets his ingredients from the Matusz-Vad webshop. His choice this time is BEN'S Easy Kitchen crabs, which are easy to prepare both in the kitchen, on a griddle, and on an outdoor cooking surface such as the OFYR.
A significant part of the Matusz-Vad Zrt. BEN'S Easy Kitchen products are unbeatable in both reliability and value for money. With a 30-year history in the fish and shellfish market, the Dutch company knows where to source the best quality seafood, packaged and delivered to the highest hygiene standards.
Product advantage or why choose BEN'S crabs
One of the hit products of Matusz-Vad Zrt. within the seafood category, the 16/20 tiger crab without armour, tail. And for good reason, because it is a product of exceptional quality. A For BEN'S products it is common for the company not to manipulate their size at all with additives - unlike many of its competitors. In this For 16/20 packs (1 kg is 16 or 20 pieces of crab), as all Dutch packaging is characterised by a maximum glaze of 20%, which means that the water loss after freezing is really low.
A BEN'S cancers this time they landed on the plate of the OFYR brand outdoor oven, distributed by H2G in Uri, after some chilli-orange-coriander marinating. Ingenious in its simplicity, OFYR delivers much more than just delicious food. The unique circular design encourages people to gather around, making every meal together a memorable occasion.
Mátyás Szik Szik grilled the marinated crabs in about fifteen minutes, and recommended one of his own brand wines, SzM Rozé 2019, based on the Mátra kékfrankos, as a wine pairing. The wine, which reminds of the aroma and taste of red berries, harmonizes perfectly with the crab dishes, and as the sommelier suggests, a splash of it can be added to the marinade. The end result is simple, spectacular, healthy and, in short, superb. Try it for yourself BEN'S tiger prawns and shrimps, and bring summer back to your menu!
