“This dish has a few layers of flavors which embody summer for me. Grilled scallops have that char/smoky taste you MUST HAVE during summer— meaning get outside and grill! If you want to avoid mosquitos, they can also be pan-roasted. There is Nobilo Icon Sauvignon Blanc used in the golden raisin relish, and it pairs perfectly with the sweet and acidic notes of the relish when enjoyed by the glass. The relish has depth, heat, and sweetness. It’s an excellent condiment to keep in your fridge. If stored correctly, it can last for months and goes great with many other proteins, including pork. The cauliflower brings in that earthy tone. Preparation is simple; the plating is elegant but homely.”
