Paprika and sesame nibbles.
Remember the old Rich Tea biscuit advert that suggested a cup of tea was too wet without a biscuit to dunk? The same goes for a cold glass of wine or a beer, especially over a bank holiday weekend.
I can’t really suggest you have a rich tea with your beer or wine on the patio but a few of these paprika and sesame parmesan nibbles should hit the spot. Parmesan adds a deep umami richness that compliments a crisp white wine or a cold beer. If you don’t like paprika or can’t eat sesame seeds then, as they are simply a coating to the uncooked dough, leave them out.
