 Today, Executive Chef Jason Spurlock from the Red Coach Inn (Niagara Falls, NY) presents his recipe for Pan Seared Brown Trout on Forbidden Rice with a Morello Cherry Reduction. Describing this dish, Chef Spurlock says "Forbidden rice is a short-grain heirloom rice. It is favored by some chefs due to its flavor profile, nutrient value, and eye-appeal. Morello cherries are sour cherries that grow regionally in Western New York and Ontario, Canada. They provide a nice balance of sweetness and tartness which accentuates the sweetness of the fresh trout in this dish. I would recommend drinking a light fruity Pino Noir with this dish. The sweetness of the wine will cut the tartness of the Morello cherry reduction and be nicely assimilated by the Forbidden rice's floral hints". Sounds great Chef Spurlock!
