Smoked Trout with Lentils and Speck
A fish recipe from Restaurant Obauer in Werfen, Austria.
| Ingredients | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2 | whole smoked trout | |
| 50 | bacon | |
| 100 | green lentils | |
| 100 | red lentils | |
| 2 | shallots | |
| 1 | handful | garlic |
| parsley | ||
| dried porcini mushrooms | ||
| tapioca flour | ||
| 3 | tablespoon(s) | butter |
| 3 | tablespoon(s) | soy sauce |
| 1 | bay leaf | |
| black pepper, freshly ground | ||
| salt | ||
| 0.5 | l | fish stock |
- Soak green lentils and red lentils separately in water.
- Lift or pluck the meat off the smoked trout from the bones and break into flakes. Put the bones in a saucepan, add a shallot, the bay leaf and some dried porcini mushrooms. Pour on water so that everything is covered.
- Bring to the boil, remove from the heat and leave the stock to stand for about half an hour. Strain stock.
- Boil the red lentils in salted water for about one minute, strain and rinse. Cook the green lentils in the same way, but for about 5 minutes. Both types of lentils should be firm to the bite afterwards.
- Cut bacon into small cubes. Finely chop one shallot and the garlic clove. Sauté everything with a tablespoon of butter.
- Add 250ml of smoked trout stock and soy sauce and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Mix a little tapioca flour in a cup with some icy water until smooth. Stir into the sauce and bring to the boil until thickened.
- Add the lentils, bring everything to the boil once, season with salt and pepper, stir in chopped parsley if desired. Heat 125ml of fish stock, mix in 2 tablespoons of butter, season with salt and pepper.
- Warm the smoked trout fillets slightly in the oven (they should not get hot) and place them on a plate. Add lentils, pour over the buttery sauce.
