BBQ Wednesdays
BBQ Wednesdays are six workshops where local restaurants perform a recipe on the grill during the summer season.
Under normal circumstances, the recipes are executed live from the Desjardins Kiosk, at Olympique Park.
Due to COVID-19, the BBQ workshops will be held differently this year. The recipes will be presented virtually, thanks to the collaboration of Csur la télé.
The recipes will be broadcast using pre-recorded video.

Pairing:
Vignoble Côte de Vaudreuil
Sous les OliviersRecipe
Grilled halibut steak with herbs, sea relish and beer vinaigrette
Ingredients:
- 400 g halibut (2 x 200 g steak with skin)
- 1 yellow-fleshed potato
- 100 g homemade mayonnaise
- 1 lager
- 1 fresh tomato
- 1 fresh red pepper
- Fresh herbs (chives, curled parsley, basil, rosemary)
- 100 g Salaweg sea relish
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Preparation:
Salsa:
- Dice the tomato and chilli pepper.
- Chop the basil, chives, thyme, rosemary and parsley.
- Put all in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- Add the Salaweg relish.
- Add the olive oil.
- Set aside.
Beer vinaigrette:
- Take a homemade mayonnaise, not an industrial one.
- Put it in a bowl and stir with a whisk, while adding the beer until the mixture is homogeneous and the texture is smooth (take a LEFFE type beer with yeast). Do not overrun, as it will not keep.
- Set aside.
Potato:
- Wash and slice the potato into thin slices.
- Oil, season and put on the grill. Cooking will be quick. Keep warm.
Fish:
- Season and oil, then put the fish on the very hot grill to make a crust (as you would do for a meat).
- Halibut is a fish that becomes brittle with cooking. It is best to handle it with a kitchen spatula.
Dressing:
- Warm the potato slices, then place them on the plate.
- Put the halibut, add the salsa and vinaigrette to the beer.
- Enjoy and bon appétit.
