I looked into my refrigerator to see what I had...and the ingredients jumped to my imagination. I thought: I think this has to taste good and go well with my baked grouper dinner...and it was not only good but great! The mild bitterness of the arugula and the sweetness of grapes and pickled veggies is a perfect combination. A cool crisp pinot bianco is the perfect match.

Newfie Goulash
This goulash with tomato soup, ketchup, and corned beef is an old recipe made by my grandmother who lived on an island in the North Atlantic — long before "goulash" was made with ground beef. It was our typical meal when my mom was in a rush to put something hot and tasty on the table. My family and friends use it a lot, and I add the grated Parmesan cheese on top to give it a gourmet touch. The dish is nice with a green salad.
