Trout Cooked in Newspaper with Forking Mint
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 4 whole trout, about 400 g each, scaled and gutted
- 2 lemons, sliced
- 1 fennel bulb, sliced
- 1 cup soft herbs
- 2 tbsp Glasseye Creek Forking Mint Sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 large sheets baking paper
- Several sheets clean newspaper
- Kitchen string
Method
1. Stuff each trout with lemon, fennel and herbs and season. Wrap first in baking paper so food never touches newspaper.
2. Wrap each parcel in several damp sheets of clean newspaper and tie securely with kitchen string.
3. Cook on a barbecue plate over medium heat or on a grill rack above mature coals for 18-25 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, until the paper is charred and the fish flakes at the backbone.
4. Rest 5 minutes, remove all newspaper and paper, and serve with the Forking Mint sauce.
