The flavor of fresh trout caught in a stream or lake and cooked over wood coals is unsurpassed! If you do not have access to a trout stream or lake many grocery stores now sell farm raised rainbow trout. Try this recipe the next time you cook trout. You will enjoy it! —Wild Forage
Ingredients
-
2
Wild caught or store bought trout
-
1 bunch
Chives
-
4 sprigs
Oregano
-
6 sprigs
Thyme
-
1 bunch
Basil
-
1 tablespoon
Salt
-
2 teaspoons
Pepper
-
2 tablespoons
Garlic Powder
Directions
-
Wash fish in cold water and dry thoroughly. Leave the skin on the fish. This will protect the flesh from the extreme heat of the wood oven.
-
Cut diagonal slits into both sides of the fish.
-
Rub olive oil all over the outside and inside of the fish. Make sure you get the oil into the slits.
-
Season fish with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
-
Wash and dry all herbs.
-
Stuff all herbs into the cavity of the trout and squeeze lemon juice over fish.
-
Place fish on oiled Tuscan grill grate over wood coals.
-
Cook fish in hot oven and turn fish to cook both sides. In a wood oven the fish will cook especially. Be careful not to burn the fish. The skin will protect the flesh from burning to a point.
-
Remove fish from the bones and discard any burnt skin. Serve with fresh grilled vegetables from your garden and rice. This fish recipe pairs well with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc.
