Angela’s Italian Recipe for Trota Saltinbocca

Trota Saltinbocca

Saltimbocca or saltinbocca (depending on dialect) means literally ‘jump in the mouth’. It usually refers to veal which is finely sliced, rolled with prosciutto and sage then pan-fried. The result is a delicious mouthful and lends itself to all sorts of variations.

Ingredients:

4 fillets of trout or redfin
150 grams mozzarella cheese, sliced finely
8 slices prosciutto
1 clove garlic, crushed
20 grams parmesan, grated
salt and pepper
50 grams butter or oil
a few leaves of tarragon or Italian parsley
100 ml white wine
flour
5 grams Italian parsley, chopped

Directions:

Gently pound the fish fillets between "gladwrap" to flatten into fine slices.

Lay on top the finely sliced prosciutto and the mozzarella cheese.

In a bowl combine parmesan, garlic, salt, pepper, tarragon or parsley.

Spread this mixure on top of the fish fillet, prosciutto and cheese.

Roll to form a "saltinbocca" and secure with a toothpick.

Dust the fish rolls with flour warm butter or oil in a frypan, when foaming, place in the fish rolls and cook gently.

Add the wine and let it reduce.

Serve on warm plates sprinkled with chopped Italian parsley.
