Curried Smoked Trout Toasts Food

SMOKED TROUT

Steps:

• In a shallow baking dish, mix together the kosher salt, sugar, cilantro, and lemon slices to make the cure. Rub the cure into the trout fillets, and cure in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
• Prepare a hot smoker.
• Smoke the trout with serrano peppers until the fish is cooked through, but not overcooked. Remove from the smoker and allow to cool.
• Peel the smoked peppers and remove seeds. Place the smoked pepper in a blender or food processor and puree. Add the vinegar, olive oil, mango, garlic, black pepper, salt, and tomato. Puree until smooth.
• Place the trout on a platter and sprinkle with peanuts. Drizzle a generous amount of the vinaigrette over the trout.

CURRIED RICE WITH SMOKED TROUT

Steps:

• Put the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with water by 2 inches; bring to a boil, then remove from the heat and let stand 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and curry powder and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion softens, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes and rice and cook, stirring, until the tomatoes begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add 2 1/2 cups water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce the heat to low; cook until most of the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and season with salt and pepper.
• Peel and quarter the eggs. Toss the mixed greens with the lemon juice, the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Divide the rice mixture among plates and top with the smoked trout and eggs. Serve with the salad.
