Stuffed Trout wrapped in Maize leaves
This recipe come courtesy of our friends at guyropegourmet - we thought it sounded so good we just had to include it!
Serves 2
The What:
2 fresh cobs of corn with leaves still on
2 trout (cleaned and gutted)
Sea salt & and plenty of fresh ground black pepper
2 bay leaves
2 large knobs of butter
A large bunch of fresh thyme
Half a lemon
2 cloves of garlic, peeled and sliced
A couple of small wooden toothpicks
The How:
Fire up the barbie! Carefully peel off a couple of leaves from each of the corn cobs, making sure that there is still enough leaf left to cover the yellow kernels. Put the corn on the BBQ to cook, turning as necessary. Take a bay leaf, half the sliced garlic, a knob of butter, half the thyme and a good wedge of lemon and stuff into the trout. Apply a good sprinkle of sea salt and a generous grind of black pepper to the outside of the fish. Wrap the trout in the two leaves from the corn and pin closed using the wooden tooth picks as mini tent pegs! Place on the BBQ and cook for about ten minutes on each side.
Spread a knob of butter over the cooked corn on the cob, enjoy with the stuffed trout, together with the knowledge that if you cook this dish for your squeeze and then ask them to marry you, they will more than likely say yes!
Guyrope Gourmet says: "I rustled this one up while camping in the redwoods in California. I was planning on proposing to my then girlfriend when we got to the coast. I was pulling out all the stops in trying to impress, hoping for an affirmative answer! I cooked it on the grill over the open fire that every American camp site seems to have. It also works well on a barbeque." |
