LENTILS WITH SMOKED TROUT RILLETES



Lentils With Smoked Trout Rilletes image

A new take on surf and turf, with simply cooked lentils topped with smoked trout. This plate of lentils topped with quenelle-shaped spoonfuls of smoked trout rillettes is not your run of the mill surf and turf combo. It is inspired by a wonderful dish I ate at Buvette, a tiny, lively bistro in Paris. I was there in October, less than a week after I had eaten at its equally popular twin in New York, where the menu was almost identical, except this dish wasn't offered on the New York menu when I was there (instead I enjoyed brandade). The lentils were simply cooked and came topped with a big scoop of the smoked trout rillettes, a great combo. If I were French I would make the rillettes with lots of butter, but this version has more of a Mediterranean sensibility. Use a fork, not a food processor, to mash the smoked trout, as you want the rillettes to have some texture. Any type of lentil will work here.

Time 45m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups / 14 ounces lentils (green, brown, or black), rinsed and picked over
1 1/2 quarts water
1 onion, cut in half
1 bay leaf
2 garlic cloves, crushed
Pinch of cayenne, or 1 dried cayenne pepper (optional)
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
7 to 8 ounces smoked trout fillets, skin and bones removed
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature (may substitute Greek yogurt)
4 to 6 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (depending on whether or not you use butter)
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (to taste)
1 to 2 tablespoons minced chives (to taste)
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium size pot, combine lentils, water, onion, bay leaf, garlic and optional cayenne. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Add salt, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 30 to 40 minutes, until lentils are cooked through but still have some texture. They should not be mushy but they shouldn't be crunchy either. Taste and adjust salt. Add pepper. Using tongs, remove and discard onion and bay leaf.
  • While lentils are simmering make rillettes. In a medium bowl, break up trout with your fingers or with a fork. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil and butter until well amalgamated. Mash trout with a fork, then work in olive oil and butter, and yogurt. Make sure to mash well and to distribute butter, olive oil and yogurt evenly through the mixture. Work in lemon juice and stir in minced chives and pepper. Refrigerate if not using right away. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before serving.
  • Spoon warm lentils onto plates or wide bowls. To form quenelles, dip a soup spoon into warm water and scoop up a spoonful of trout mixture. With another soup spoon, round the top of the mound, then ease off on top of the lentils. Repeat with another spoonful and serve.

LIGHT LENTIL SOUP WITH SMOKED TROUT



Light Lentil Soup With Smoked Trout image

This is inspired by a traditional French combination of lentils and fresh salmon. I decided to make something a little simpler: a very basic lentil soup garnished with smoked trout, either canned or packaged. I use the Parmesan rind in the bouquet garni to add some umami flavor to the lentils, which would traditionally be paired with sausage or cured pork.

Place fish, skin side down, in pan and cook, undisturbed, until skin is crisp and releases from pan, about 4 minutes. Turn fish, add butter to pan, and cook, tilting pan and spooning butter over fish, until opaque throughout, about 2 minutes longer.
  • Stir parsley into verjus beurre blanc just before serving. Serve fish with lentils and sauce.

PAN-ROASTED SEA TROUT WITH UMBRIAN LENTILS AND RED CABBAGE SOTTACETO



Pan-Roasted Sea Trout with Umbrian Lentils and Red Cabbage Sottaceto image

Categories     Side     Fry     Stew     Trout     Lentil     Kosher     Cabbage     Simmer

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

for the cabbage
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 head of red cabbage, cored and thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
1 cup balsamic vinegar
for the fish
4 6-ounce fillets sea trout, skin on
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
30 whole fresh Italian parsley leaves
Lentils Castellucciano (page 264)
2 tablespoons finishing-quality extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 lemon

Steps:

  • To make the cabbage, warm the oil and garlic together in a large nonstick sauté pan over medium heat. Season with salt and sauté the garlic, stirring constantly to prevent it from browning, for about 2 minutes, until it begins to soften. Add the cabbage, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, for about 2 minutes, to wilt it slightly. Reduce the heat to low, add the vinegar, and simmer the cabbage 35 to 45 minutes, until the vinegar is reduced by about two-thirds and is thick and jammy. You don't need to stir the cabbage while it cooks, just let it slowly simmer and it will melt down into the vinegar. You can prepare the cabbage to this point up to three days in advance. Transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate; bring to room temperature before serving.
  • Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350°F. Season both sides of the trout with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick sauté pan over medium- high heat until the oil is almost smoking and slides easily in the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Place the fish fillets in the pan skin side down and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, so the skin begins to brown and crisp. Place the pan in the oven and cook for about 4 minutes, until the skin is golden brown. (To check for doneness, look at the skin around the outer edges of the fish; you want it to be a rich, crunchy, french-fry brown around the sides.) Remove the pan from the oven and slide a spatula under each fillet to turn it, taking care not to tear the skin or burn yourself, as the pan will be searing hot. Return the pan to the oven and cook the fish for another minute. Remove the pan from the oven and let the fish rest in the pan for 2 minutes.
  • While the fish is cooking, combine 1/2 cup of the cabbage with the parsley in a small bowl and toss gently. Warm the lentils in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add enough water so they are the consistency of a thick porridge but not so thin that they will spread over the surface of the plate. Remove the lentils from the heat and drizzle in 2 tablespoons of the finishing-quality olive oil, stirring constantly for about a minute, until the lentils are creamy and emulsified.
  • Ladle 1/4 cup of the lentils into the center of each of four plates. Lay the trout on top of the lentils, squeeze a few drops of lemon juice over each fish fillet and top with the cabbage and parsley, dividing it evenly. Drizzle each serving of fish with the finishing olive oil, and serve with the remaining cabbage on the side.

1 bay leaf , torn
1medium carrot , cut into tiny dice
100g smoked streaky bacon lardons

  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. This is a great way to customize the dish to your own taste.
