Chef Krinn’s Recipe of the Month

Summer Corn Soup with
Shrimp and Bacon

Serves 4

6 ears of yellow corn, scraped, kernels removed

4 cups of vegetable stock, fish stock, or water

2 yellow onions, sliced

3 garlic cloves, sliced

1 jalapeno, diced

2 Tbsp butter, unsalted

2 Tbsp olive oil

1/8 tsp old bay seasoning

Salt and white pepper, to taste

12 shrimp, medium, divined

2 slices smoked bacon

½ avocado diced, ½ lime, juiced

cilantro, for garnish

1. Slice the kernels from the corn into a bowl. Using the back side of a spoon scrape the cobs from top to bottom to remove some of the corn juice or milk and save.

2. Place corn cobs in a pot with 4 cups of water with 1 onion, 2 carrots, ½ head of garlic and simmer for 30 minutes, strain and reserve.

3. In a heavy duty stock pot, slowly render the bacon over medium heat until crispy, remove and add the butter and olive oil and sweat the onions, garlic and jalapeno until soft, approximately 20 minutes over low heat. Season with salt, pepper and old bay.

4. Add the corn kernels and cook 10 minutes more, add corn stock and simmer for 15 minutes. Check seasoning and puree and strain through mesh sieve or china cap.

5. Sauté the shrimp briefly in olive oil until red and cooked, season with a sprinkle of old bay, add the avocado, bacon bits, lime juice and cilantro and place in center of a soup bowl and pour soup around garnish and serve.

2941 Restaurant Wine Splurge and Steal:

Our Sommelier Kathy Morgan serves up this special column for our wine connoisseurs: "Wine Splurges and Steals.” Each month Kathy matches a splurge and a steal selection from our extensive wine list that perfectly pairs with one of Chef Krinn’s tempting seasonal menu items.

This month’s featured 2941 menu item is:

Pan Seared Pork Tenderloin

blistered corn, horseradish, black mustard seed

Although this dish could be paired with a lighter red wine, it is a rare and marvelous opportunity to show off a big, rich white.  The starchy-sweet personality of the corn, the creaminess of the sauce, and the smoky flavors in the meat make magic with unctuously textured whites that are far less food-friendly than their lean, crisp counterparts.

	Kathy Says: Pinot Gris  -  Clément Klur, Vieilles Vignes, Alsace, France 2004   $13 per glass / $50 per bottle Clément Klur’s style is notably rich, and this wine has impressive depth for its price.  Its flavors of smoky stone fruit, muted baking spices and crystallized ginger are clean and well defined.
	Kathy’s Splurge: Hermitage Blanc - Domaine Jean-Louis Chave, Rhône Valley, France  2003    $275 per bottle Domaine Chave is one of the finest – and oldest – estates in the Rhône Valley, having passed from father to son since 1481.  The warm 2003 vintage and the sixty-year-old vines yielded a particularly voluptuous example, although it is surprisingly well balanced for its enormous weight.  It is intense and explosive, with white peach, yellow plum, toasted almond and spice flavors that never seem to end.
