Smoked Trout Terrines
Prep Time 30 minutes + chilling time
Servings 6
Ingredients
12-14 large slices of cold smoked trout or salmon (approx 400g)
2 x 105g cans of smoked rainbow trout, drained well
1 lemon, zested
1 spring onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp capers, chopped
1 small handful of tarragon and parsley, chopped
100g mascarpone or cream cheese
2 tbsp cream
Salt & pepper
Mixed salad leaves, to serve
Method
Line 4 x 1/2 cup (approx.) moulds with cling film, then line the moulds with a few pieces of smoked salmon/trout ensuring there are no gaps.
In a food processor add the rainbow trout, any remaining cold smoked salmon or trout slices that are left, lemon, capers, spring onion, herbs with a pinch of salt and pepper, mascarpone and cream and lightly pulse until just combined.
Fill the moulds with the trout mixture and then gather the smoked salmon/trout from the sides to the centre, to cover the mixture. Cover with the excess cling wrap and press down to compact. Place in the fridge, for at least 3 hours or overnight.
To serve, carefully demould and remove cling film and place on plates. Mix lettuce leaves with a squeeze of lemon, salt and pepper and a splash of oil. Serve beside the terrines.
