A Whole Trout, With Head On

A friend shared some trout to me last week, fresh from the lake through fishing. Excited to taste its freshness, I decided to cook it immediately after cleaning all the gut section. No recipe. Just whatever suits me, a whole trout will soon be served to please my appetite.

I sautéed some onions, peppers and cut mushrooms until the juice start flowing and add the whole trout in it, cover it and let it cook on top of a wood stove. When the eyes turned white, it means almost time to be served. I added some ginger, add a dash of salt and pepper just before serving and it was simple but tasty.

This one trout not only taste so good but filled with memory of sharing and freshness of what nature can bring. It was a good time! Oh, wait. Squeeze some lemon juice before you plunged your fork and the aroma will make you want more of the trout.

Ingredients:

Onions - cut lengthwise and clean the gut

Ginger - grated

Yellow Peppers - cut in triangles

Mushrooms

Whole Trout

Lemon
