| PREPARATION |

CORN RELISH: 1. Bake corn in preheated 375° oven for 4 minutes; set aside. 2. Heat butter; sauté onions and garlic until onions are translucent. 3. Add peppers and heat. Peppers should still have bright color and crunch. 4. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat sugar, vinegar, and white wine for 30 seconds; add ingredients to the sauté pan. 5. Remove from heat. 6. Fold in corn gently to syrup mixture. 7. Set aside. COOKING: 1. In a sauté pan over medium-high heat, place 1/2 oz. of canola oil in the pan. 2. Add the mussels and cover with another sauté pan; steam the mussels for 1 minute. Carefully remove lid from pan - mussels should be half-opened. 3. Add the chopped garlic, corn relish, and chopped bacon; sauté for 1 minute. 4. Add the clam chowder to the saué pan and toss until well combined, heating throughout. 5. Add the Pernod and toss to combine all flavors. 6. Once heated thoroughly, place in a pasta bowl and add garlic bread on either side. 7. Top off with chopped parsley and serve. |

Curran Greanche Blanc 2012 This wine pairs well with salads, seafood, grilled vegetables, various cheeses, and shines as a summer apertitif. The Grenache Blanc has notes of pear, white peach and melon, with hints of white flowers and lemon zest. It is bone dry, with a medium body, crisp acidity, and well-balanced tannins. The combination of crispness and lushness is tantalizing. |
