Smoked Trout Dip

Here’s a quick easy dip to serve with drinks.  I really like it spread on a celery stick for a snack. A good one for Lent. I used Goulburn River Hot Smoked Trout which is moist, fleshy and lightly smoked with native Victorian Mountain Ash Eucalyptus.

Here’s a quick easy dip to serve with drinks.  I really like it spread on a celery stick for a snack. A good one for Lent. I used Goulburn River Hot Smoked Trout which is moist, fleshy and lightly smoked with native Victorian Mountain Ash Eucalyptus.

Ingredients

  • hot smoked trout 125g, skin and bones removed
  • fresh ricotta 150g, drained if wet
  • fresh lemon juice, 4 tablespoons, plus extra if needed
  • thickened cream, 3 tablespoons
  • Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon
  • tomato sauce or (sweet chilli sauce), 2 teaspoons
  • freshly chopped dill, 2-3 tablespoons
  • capers, 2 tablespoons, drained and lightly chopped
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Break the trout into pieces and place in a food processor bowl.  Add the ricotta, lemon juice, cream and Worcestershire and tomato sauces. Pulse until you have a slightly chunky mixture. Add the dill and capers; season with salt and pepper.
Pulse briefly just to blend mixture.  Taste and add more lemon juice if needed. Transfer to a serving bowl.  Garnish with extra dill and serve with thinly sliced toast or Ancient Grains Valley Road Pita Crisps. Also delicious spread on crisp celery sticks.
