HOT SMOKED TROUT AND POTATO TART
Made with beautifully succulent hot smoked ChalkStream trout, thinly sliced potatoes, a cheeky handful of blue cheese and served with pickled beetroot - it really is a heavenly combination. Created by Sian @recipebreakout.
Serves 6
Ingredients:
125g of ChalkStream Hot Smoked Trout
Pastry to line a standard flan dish
3-4 small potatoes
200ml crème fraiche
1 tbs thick cream
4 Eggs
60g of blacksticks blues cheese
1 small red onion
Fresh thyme and dill leaves
Method
Roll out your pastry into a rough circle and line a standard sized flan dish, trim the edges and blind bake for 10 mins. Scrub 3-4 small potatoes and slice as thinly as possible. In a large bowl beat the crème fraiche, thick cream, eggs and blue cheese.
Slice a small red onion and scatter this over the base of the tart, add in the potatoes and the creamy mix. Nestle in 4 or 5 slices of hot smoked trout along with a scattering of thyme and dill leaves. Cook in a moderate oven to hot oven for 25-30 minutes until set in the middle. Finish with some extra fresh thyme and dill leaves and serve with a pickle of your choice.
