Ingredients
SEA TROUT GRAVADLAX
300 g Wild sea trout skin on, ask your lovely fishmonger to pinbone and cut into 2 equal fillets
2 tbsp Heaped dark soft brown sugar
35 ml Black cow vodka.......Pop the bottle in the freezer ready to serve a shot or two with the Gravadlax......
2 Lemons "woken up" juiced and zested
HORSERADISH BEETS.......
1-2 tbsp Grated horseradish root
Directions
Place the sugar, vodka, 3 heaped tablespoons of sea salt, the zest of the orange and the zest of 1 lemon into a bowl. Pick the dill leaves, reserve by placing in a bowl of cold water in the fridge, finely chop the dill stalks and combine well into the sugary vodka mixture, pop in the trout fillets, coating well in the marinade, cover with clingfilm, placing in the fridge for 5-6 hours....
Into a bowl place the soured cream, grated horseradish, cooked and rough chopped beets, juice and zest of 1/2 lemon, season with salt, taste and adjust to your buds, chill until ready to serve....
Remove trout from fridge, remove from marinade and wipe any excess salt discarding, chop reserved dill leaves, scattering over the trout fillets.... If you plan to serve later sandwich the fish skin side outwards, wrapped in clingfilm in the fridge until needed.
To serve..... Remove the clingfilm, peel away the trout skin, serve on a groovy board finely slicing the fish with a pile of horseradish beetroot salad, a scattering of dill leaves, lemon wedges and a stack of lightly toasted rye bread.... Enjoy........Oh and don't forget a shot or two of freezer chilled Black cow....
Delicious served the traditional way with slices of lightly toasted rye bread, lemon wedges and shots of Black cow vodka served straight from the freezer.....
