Flaked Trout with Rocket, Lychees<br />

and Sweet Lime Dressing<br />

Serves 2<br />

Prep time: 10 minutes<br />

Cook time: 30 seconds<br />

Ingredients<br />

225g hot smoked trout<br />

150g mangetout<br />

2 large handfuls of rocket leaves<br />

½ cucumber, cut in half lengthways, seeds<br />

removed and sliced<br />

10 lychees, peeled, stoned and cut in half<br />

Handful of basil leaves, roughly chopped<br />

Handful of mint leaves, roughly chopped<br />

Handful of coriander leaves, roughly chopped<br />

1 red chilli, deseeded and diced<br />

½ red onion, diced<br />

60g toasted cashew nuts<br />

The oily richness of the trout contrasts beautifully with the sweet lychees<br />

and peppery rocket leaves. Hot smoked trout requires no preparation,<br />

making this an ideal speedy healthy lunch or evening meal. Use any<br />

lettuce leaves in this dish and plenty of fresh herbs. You could use<br />

smoked mackerel or hot smoked salmon instead of the trout if wished.<br />

Method<br />

1. Blanch the mange tout in boiling water for 30 seconds, drain and<br />

refresh under cold water.<br />

2. Place the mangetout in a bowl with the rocket, cucumber, lychees,<br />

herbs, chilli and onion. Break up the trout and scatter over the top<br />

with the toasted cashew nuts. Mix together the lime juice, xylitol or<br />

honey and fish sauce.<br />

3. Season the salad with a little black pepper and drizzle over the<br />

dressing to serve.<br />

Lime Dressing<br />

Juice of 2 limes<br />

2 tsp xylitol or honey<br />

1-2 tbsp fish sauce to taste<br />
