Save Recipe: Pan Seared Brown trout on Forbidden rice with a Morello Cherry reduction

ImageToday, 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!

  • 1 cup of Forbidden rice

Put sauté pan on burner until hot, season fish, put oil into the pan and put fish into the pan.  Do not touch fish.  Place pan into oven set at 450 degrees for 5 minutes.

Put all three into a sauce pan and let simmer for 5 minutes.  Place in food processor and puree.  Return to pan and let reduce until a syrup is formed.  About 8 minutes on medium high heat.
