There are many recipes for how to cook trout dishes, while the inner parts of the fish are usually used much less often. This is not entirely true, since trout liver turns out to be no less tasty than fish fillet steak.
It is necessary
-
- 200 grams of potatoes;
- 70-100 grams of trout liver;
- salt
- black pepper;
- 15 grams of sour cream;
- 50 grams of cheese;
- dill greens.
Instructions
Step 1
In order to cook trout liver, it is important to gut the caught fish with high quality. If the liver is allowed to come into contact with bile, it will be extremely difficult to get rid of the bitterness. Therefore, open the belly of the fish and pull out the insides with extreme caution to prevent rupture of the gallbladder next to the liver. To do this, make a not too deep incision in the abdomen, if the fish is cut into two parts, then the likelihood of opening the gallbladder increases.
Step 2
If bile is still spilled, then soak the fish in cold water with the addition of salt for an hour. The more thoroughly the fish is washed, the less likely the finished dish will taste bitter.
Step 3
When the liver is ready, take a clay pot with chopped potatoes in the bottom. You can cut it both in slices and in cubes, it all depends on personal preference. Salt is added to taste.
Step 4
On top of the potatoes, lay a layer of onions cut into rings, lightly salt and pepper.
Step 5
Place the liver on a vegetable pad. If the trout was not too large, then it should not be additionally chopped. In addition to the liver, you can add a fish heart to the pot.
Step 6
When preparing this dish from trout, it is best to use its internal fat, but if the fish was too small and there was not much of that, then on top of the potatoes and liver you need to put a tablespoon of sour cream diluted in the same amount of water. Without adding extra fat, the contents of the pot will be too dry.
Step 7
Place the potato and trout liver pot in the oven preheated to 200 degrees. The liver cooks quickly enough, but it takes at least half an hour for the potatoes to soften.
Step 8
Five minutes before turning off the oven, carefully remove the lid from the pot and pour the grated cheese and chopped dill onto the dish. This will make a fragrant crust.
