Make Trout With Almonds
Serves 2
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 whole trouts, gutted with heads on
- 3 1/8 ounces (90 grams) butter
- 2 1/8 ounces (60 grams) almonds
- 1 lemon, cut into quarters
- 4 slices of lemon
- 1 3/4 ounces (50 grams) sliced fennel
- Seasoned flour
Steps
- Stuff the trouts. Open up the trout and stuff it with 1 or 2 slices of lemon and a small handful of fennel. Take the other trout and repeat the same thing.
- Flour the trouts. Tip the flour onto a large plate and place one of the trouts in the centre. Sprinkle over more flour and turn it over several times to cover well. Repeat with the second trout.
- Fry the trouts. Put the large frying pan on a medium heat and warm it through. Add 3/4 of the butter and let it melt. Place both trouts into the pan. Fry on both sides for 5 minutes or until golden brown. When cooked remove from the heat.
- Transfer the trouts onto a plate and allow to rest.
- Fry the almonds. Place the same pan back on a medium heat and pour in the almonds. Add the remaining butter and toss the pan a few times. Fry, moving constantly, until golden brown.
- Garnish and serve. Spoon the almonds and melted butter over both trouts. Garnish with a little greenery and some lemon wedges and serve.
