TROUT EL GRECO
-feeds four

  • 4 boneless trout, 8-10 ounces each
  • 1 bunch spinach
  • 2 leaves dried fresh basil
  • 1 pinch oregano
  • 1 pinch coarse pepper
  • 2 ounces grated feta cheese
  • 8 marinated grape leaves(if leaves are large you will only need four)
  • 1 juiced lemon
  • 1 egg yolk

    To make the stuffing, put the spinach, basil, oregano, pepper, cheese, and egg yolk in a food processor, and coarse chop it. You'll end up with a creamy paste. Divide this into four equal parts, then stuff the cavities of the trout. Wrap the trout in the grape leaf, then put it into a large casserole dish, sprinkle with a pinch of salt along with a squirt of lemon juice, then bake for 20 minutes in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees. The grape leaves should be crisp on top. If you're looking for a wine with this dish try a nice chianti.
