Scallops With Chanterelles And Port Wine Sauce

Because it is cooked with wine and wild mushrooms, this makes a very "special" light summertime dish. It's an excellent change of pace from the standard barbecue fare, and can be prepared in minutes. Spinach salad tossed with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, a dash of walnut oil, red onion, and crumbled bacon makes an excellent accompaniment.
