FISHING FOR COMPLEMENTS

SCALLOPS WITH GRAPEFRUIT & LEEKS P. 122

SEAFOOD SWAP

This combination of ingredients also works well with wild salmon or trout in place of scallops (adjust fish cooking time as needed).

SAISON OR FARMHOUSE ALE

Farmhouse ales are often earthy and a little funky. A type of beer that falls under this category is a saison, which means season in French, but traditionally can be enjoyed any time of the year. That said, its fresh, hoppy and often fruity or wild-tasting flavours make it an excellent summer sipper. For this pairing, efferves cent saisons or farmhouse ales in general would make a welcome partner to but tery, rich scallops, while the bitterness in the grapefruit lifts the sweetness in the beer without any of the ingredients overpowering each other. We suggest reaching for brews like Godspeed Brewery Yuzu Saison with Japanese Citrus ( LCBO 18826, 355 mL, $3.95 ) or Burdock Tuesday Saison ( LCBO 37764, 473 mL, $4.50 ), or any other sea sonal releases that arrive on the shelves.
