Grilled trout with green asparagus and roasted potatos

Been some time for me to make a new post here, but it’s that time again, fortunately. I had a nice workout on Stand Up Paddling yesterday, and wanted to enjoy the good weather a little more, so I fired up the old OTP again. Bought some fresh rainbow trouts and was feeling confident. Trout is usually one of my favorites, eventhough there are often a lot of fishbones that stuck to the meat and end up in my mouth, but …. it doesn’t affect taste, and that’s good!

Ingredients

  • 2 fresh rainbow trouts
  • 500 grams (1 pound) of precooked little potatoes
  • 500 grams of green asparagus
  • fresh dille
  • about 50-75 ml of extra vergine olive oil
  • 1 lemon
  • salt and pepper to taste.

First the preparation.

Take 2 teaspoons of chopped dille and add the 75 ml of olive oil. Add a nice bit of salt and a little pepper and mix well into a nice marinade.

So after mixing it well, just add about 2 tablespoons of this marinade to the asparagus and to the potatoes as well, and mix it through.

Now start with the trouts. They were bought cleaned, so I just washed them out a little with fresh water and dried the skin with a towel. Now I’ve cutted into the sides a few times with a large kitchen knife and added salt and pepper to both sides and the inside as well.

After salting and peppering it, I’ve added 2-3 slices of lemon and a few branches of dille in there, before putting it into my fish grate for the BBQ.

Now, I’ve prepared everything I need, I just need to fire up the Q and pre-heat the oven on about 50 degrees celcius. (you’ll know why later on)

I’ve used a grill pan over direct coals to grill the potatoes in about 20 minutes, while turning them over every 5-10 minutes, giving them a nice grill mark style cook, and did the same with the asparagus, except a lot shorter, of course.

The trout only needs about 5-6 minutes per side, but while doing that, I’ve kept the potatoes and asparagus warm in the pre-heated oven. (told you I’d explain later 😉 )

Served and ready to be enjoyed!

Sunday afternoon pizza’s

Got to love pizza, don’t you?

I got my very first pizza stone for the BBQ yesterday and decided to give the rock a spin. First of all, I had to fire up the Q, which was easy, since we already had some friends over and we did some saucages on the grill. Lovely. But that also meant that the grill was already hot.

Pollo agro dulce using the Dutch Oven

We can’t have a weekend without lighting something with charcoal, now can’t we?

Yesterday I decided that we need to do some chicken, but in a way I’ve never done it before. I wanted to try something different, since I ususally do it indirect on the OTP, or using a beer can.

Chicken agro dulce is a very nice stew recipe that give a nice fresh, a little bit sour, flavour. It’s worth it and actually it’s pretty simple to do, if you plan it well.
