METHOD
For the marinade
- Wash the inside and outside of the trout to remove any remaining unwanted particles. Dry the trout with a kitchen towel and put it aside.
- Pour boiling water into a small cup and add the saffron. Put aside for 5 minutes.
- In a large shallow dish, place both trout and rub with salt and pepper.
- Add diced onions around and inside the fish.
- Drizzle lemon juice all over the fish and place a few lemons (those already squeezed) inside the fish.
- Pour the saffron over each trout.
- Cover the dish with plastic or cling wrap and keep it in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
To prepare the stuffing
- Heat the Cuisinart Griddler & Deep Pan on 160°C, add olive oil and sauté the onion until softened for a few minutes.
- Add grated garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add walnuts and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add parsley and coriander and cook for a few minutes.
- Add spices (turmeric, coriander, black pepper), salt and pomegranate paste, stir well.
- Add the pomegranate arils and mix well.
- Put aside to cool down.
How to stuff the Rainbow Trout
- Spoon stuffing mixture into each trout.
- Sew the fish body using a cooking string and a needle. You may use toothpicks to close the fish’s body. But make sure that the stuffing won’t be discarded.
How to grill the whole trout
- Remove each trout from the dish and brush it with olive oil.
- Heat the Cuisinart Griddler & Deep Pan to 180°C and cook for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 160°C and cook the fish until golden. TIP: No need to turn the fish as two trout fit perfectly in one grill pan, and the top grill was also turned on, and I placed the top grill on the fish while grilling.
- While grilling, keep brushing the trout with the liquid left from the marinade and olive oil.
- Serve the grilled trout with cooked rice or vegetables. Enjoy!
Note: Saffron is best ground before using. You can grind saffron strands using a pestle and mortar or an electric grinder.
