Barbecue Trout
This delicious open air meal, consists of barbecue trout,
grilled zucchini and garden salad with red wine dressing.
Materials
For one Trout:
400gm brook trout
1 spring onion (chopped)
5 halved unseeded grapes
Salt
Pepper
Dash of Bloodwood red wine (Cabernet)
2 zuccchinis
Crusty bread (1 piece)
Vine leaves (blanched)
Garden Salad:
Butter lettuce (2 cups)
Mignonette (2 cups)
Rocket lettuce (2 cups)
Finely chopped herbs of your choice (2 tablespoons)
Bacon (1 piece)
Toasted walnuts (50g)
Red Wine Dressing:
75mls olive oil
15mls balsamic vinegar
15mls Bloodwood red wine
salt
pepper
clove of crushed garlic
1 The salad dressing is made first as the trout will cook very
quickly. The vinegar is poured into a jar containing the olive
oil. The wine and garlic are then added, with a pinch of salt
and pepper. The lid is then placed on the jar and it is given a
good shake to mix the ingredients.
2 The garden salad is made by mixing the mignonette, butter
lettuce, rocket and the chopped herbs. Grilled and chopped
crispy bacon is then tossed throughout the salad. Toasted
walnuts are then added for some extra crunch.
3 The trout is laid out on the blanched vine leaves. (Aluminium
foil can be used instead). The trout is then stuffed with the
spring onions and grapes. Salt and pepper (to taste), together
with some red wine, are then sprinkled over the trout.
4 The vine leaves are then rolled around the trout. Laying a
sushi mat under the leaves helps this process. Some olive oil is
brushed onto the rolled trout and then it is barbecued for about
six minutes on each side at a medium to high heat.
5 The zucchinis are sliced lengthways and placed on the
hotplate, while the trout is cooking. Brush them with olive oil
and cook until just tender.
6 Toss the garden salad with the red wine dressing, and serve
together with some hunks of crusty bread. Do not forget the
wine, which in this case is a Bloodwood 1995 Cabernet and a
Bloodwood 1997 Maurice.
