STUFFING

LAVER SAUCE

LAVER PUREE FROM DRIED NORI

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas 6. To make the stuffing, finely chop the leek and bacon, then melt the butter in a frying pan. Saut‚ the leek until it softens, then add the bacon and continue to saut‚ until the bacon is cooked but not brown. Stir in the breadcrumbs and herbs and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring to prevent the breadcrumbs stocking.

Stir in the lemon juice and season with a little black pepper.

Place the trout in a baking dish and fill the cavity with the stuffing mixture. sprinkle little sprigs of rosemary over the fish. Stretch the bacon rashers with the back of a knife, then wrap them around the trout to pull together the cavity and keep the stuffing in place. Sprinkle over the fruit juices, then seal the baking dish carefully with foil and cook the trout for about 25 minutes, until just tender. Check occasionally to make sure that the fish has not dried out, and be very careful not to overcook it. If the fish is virtually cooked but the bacon has not crisped up, open up the foil, baste the fish and place the dish under a medium grill for a minute or two.

To make the laver sauce, put the laver pur‚e in a fine sieve and leave it to drain for a few minutes. Melt the butter in a small saucepan, and stir in the laver and fruit juices. Serve the fish, garnished with orange slices and a fresh rosemary sprig, and with a side dish of the warm sauce.

Laver puree: Tear up the nori and put it in a saucepan with about 300ml water. Bring to the boil, then simmer with about 300ml water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring, until the nori disintegrates completely. Drain off any remaining water, and you should be left with about 125g. For a dry puree pour the puree into a fine sieve and leave it to drain for about 5 minutes, until you are left with about 50g.
