Recipe Tip: Smoked Trout with Lentils and Speck

Instructions

1. Step 1

   Soak green lentils and red lentils separately in water.

2. Step 2

   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.

3. Step 3

   Bring to the boil, remove from the heat and leave the stock to stand for about half an hour. Strain stock.

4. Step 4

   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.

5. Step 5

   Cut bacon into small cubes. Finely chop one shallot and the garlic clove. Sauté everything with a tablespoon of butter.

6. Step 6

   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.

7. Step 7

   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.

8. Step 8

   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.
