Chef Scott Bryan’s Recipe of the Month
Flourless Molten Chocolate Cake

Serves 8

12 oz Valhrona chocolate (61%, bittersweet)
6 oz butter, unsalted
5 oz sugar
5 whole eggs, separated

Method:

1. Melt butter and chocolate over a double boiler, stirring until incorporated smoothly
2. Whip half the sugar (2 ½ oz) with the egg yolks in a food processor until light and fluffy (about 4-5 minutes in medium speed.) Remove and place in a large mixing bowl
3. Whip the whites with half the sugar at medium speed in a clean mixing bowl over medium speed until soft peaks (where as the peaks can barely hold shape)
4. Once the chocolate mixture is slightly cooled (but still warm from the melting stage) fold into the yolk mixture and stir until completely mixed.
5. Gently fold white mixture into chocolate yolk mixture using a rubber spatula until mixed thoroughly.
6. Spray 8 ramekins with vegetable spray and place mixture in cups evenly.
7. Place in 350 pre-heated oven for 7-8 minutes and serve while warm, as the middle will be molten chocolate when spooned into

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 our tempting seasonal menu items.

This month’s featured 2941 menu item is:

Spiced Millbrook Venison Loin
smashed rutabaga, glazed turnips, orange, green peppercorns, and Armagnac

Kathy Says:

This is a dish that truly loves Rhône Valley varietals! It is an intense, yet balanced, combination of earthy, sweet, spicy and peppery flavors, and nothing covers all of those bases better than Syrah and the other grapes found in the same area of Southern France. Although the following blends are different, they share juicy fruit flavors that won’t be soured by the sweetness of the root vegetables, a hint of spice that compliments the coriander in the spice rub, and an inherent peppery-ness that allows them to stand up to the peppercorns.

	Kathy’s Steal: Monastrell / Syrah - Bodegas Barnabé Navarro, Beryna, Alicante, Spain 2005 $13 per glass $50 per bottle This blend of Mourvedre and Syrah is not actually from the Rhône Valley, but from the central Mediterranean coast of Spain. The up-and-coming Alicante and its neighboring regions have become well known for their wines made from the native Monastrell grape, which is known in Châteauneuf-du-Pape as Mourvedre. (It is easy to imagine that the vines were carried from France into Spain many centuries ago but, actually, the reverse is true.) This is a big wine, with well defined berry, spice and black currant flavors – a great value!
	Kathy’s Splurge: Côte Rôtie - Domaine E. Guigal, La Mouline, Rhône Valley, France 2001 $500 per bottle Guigal’s La Mouline is often the fastest maturing in his trio of iconic “La La” wines from the Northern Rhône’s “Roasted Slope.” Its relative suppleness is attributed to the lighter soils of the Côte Blonde sub-zone, and the presence of (11%) Viognier co-fermented with the Syrah. This is a stunning and super concentrated effort, with amazing length, and endless layers of black fruit, smoke, pepper and chocolate.
