Stuffed trout roast

By TASTE
8
Easy
10 minutes
1 hour

Ingredients

  • 1 large whole fresh trout (about 2kg), gutted and cleaned 
  • 2 lemons, thinly sliced 
  • 6 cloves garlic, crushed 
  • 10 g fresh dill or Italian parsley
  • 4 T butter 
  • 4 T olive oil 
  • Sea salt flakes and black pepper, to taste 
  • 1 fennel bulb, cut into chunks 
  • 400 g can Cannellini beans in brine, drained 

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC. Place the trout roast on a large baking tray. Stuff with the lemons, garlic, herbs and butter. Drizzle with half the olive oil and season the skin and stuffing with salt and pepper. Cook for about 20 minutes.

2. Add the fennel bulb chunks and continue to cook for 10 – 15 minutes, at 180ºC or until cooked, yet firm.

3. Heat a large pan over high heat. Once searing hot, add the cannellini beans in batches and cook until crispy. Remove from the pan and season with salt. Repeat until all the beans are done.
