Trout Roll and Finishing Touches
125g sliced smoked trout, char or salmon
1 bunch fresh chives
1 whole English cucumber
1.Wash whole cucumber, and with green skin on, zest vertically
in even stripes, then slice diagonally. Slices are the bases
for the trout roll. Chill slices in ice water until use.
2. If trout is frozen, thaw first. Cut thinly sliced smoked
trout into strips about 2-1/2 x 1-1/2 inches. Lay strips on
cutting board for assembly.
3. Place teaspoon of Asiago puree in middle of each trout
slice and roll tightly lengthwise.
4. Microwave half bunch of chives for 10 seconds to make them
pliable and easier to tie.
5. Finish by wrapping each trout roll with a chive or two
and ensure that ties end is underneath. (At this point store
the rolls in fridge, covered with plastic wrap.)
6. To serve, place trout roll on top of the corrugated cucumber
slice.
