Mustard Greens and Smoked Trout Rice Bowl

Mustard Greens and Smoked Trout Rice BowlBack in this post about my CSA, I mentioned that mustard greens was the most difficult ingredient I had received.  Mustard greens are rather bitter, and some people love the flavor.  For me, I wanted that bitter horseradish-y flavor to be something subtle within a dish.  I attempted some mustard green lo mein that didn’t work out, and some mustard greens salad, which was way to much for me!  This mustard greens and smoked trout rice bowl was exactly what I was looking for!   Continue reading

Homemade Sushi with Smoked Trout

The first time I had sushi was in Sydney Australia when I took my study abroad trip in college.  I was uncertain about the idea of eating raw fish… Will it taste weird? Will the texture be off putting?  As it turns out, sushi and I must have been long lost friends!  I loved the flavor explosion.  In a roll, the majority of the texture comes from the rice and veggies.  The rice is seasoned and sauces are used to add flare and flavor.  If you have never tried sushi I highly recommend it.  Most restaurants have varieties that use cooked fish and seafood if the raw aspect sends you screaming.A_DSC_7496

Potato Pancakes with Dilled Sour Cream and Smoked Trout

First is the potato pancakes.  These hash brown-like patties serve as the base for this dish and use grated russet potatoes, olive oil, salt and pepper.  Making the pancake crispy requires removing liquid from the potatoes.  I simply took handfuls of grated potato and squeezed out excess moisture over the sink.  If you have kids, this could be a fun way for them to contribute in the kitchen!
