BEETROOT CURED TROUT, CUCUMBER AND APPLE DRESSING
Another excellent recipe by Sian @recipebreakout
Serves 2
Ingredients:
250g Beetroot
50g Sugar
50g Sea Salt
Handful of freshly chopped Dill
2 fresh fillet steaks of ChalkStream Trout
¼ of a Cucumber
75ml Apple Juice
1tbs Apple Cider Vinegar
Radish
Red Onion
Lime
Fresh Thyme Leaves
Method
Prepare the cure by peeling the beetroot and grating into a bowl with the sugar, sea salt and chopped dill. Blitz until smooth using a hand/stick blender. Lay out your trout fillets in a lidded plastic box and cover them well with the cure. Secure the lid and leave in the fridge for six hours to cure.
When ready to eat, make the dressing by chopping the cucumber into a bowl with the apple juice, the apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Blitz until smooth. For an extra smooth sauce you can remove all bits by passing it through a muslin lined sieve.
Finally, carve your fillets into thin slices and lay on a plate, drizzling over some of the dressing with the rest on the side. Finish with some sliced radish, a wedge of lime and some fresh thyme leaves.
