Trout with lime and thyme
Cook’s tip
For a lighter sauce, instead of butter use fresh single cream. To bind the sauce, use cornflour to
thicken.
Ingredients
2 trout, 250 g each
1 shallot, finely sliced
2 sprigs of fresh thyme
125 g butter
50 ml fresh, single cream
1 lime (or lemon if unavai-
lable)
juice of 1 lemon
1/2 glass dry white wine
salt and pepper
Preparation
Butter an oven-proof dish and sprinkle it with finely sliced shal-
lot.
Cut the lime into 8 pieces. Stuff the bellies of the trout with a
piece of lime, a piece of thyme, salt and pepper.
Arrange the trout on the dish and cover with white wine.
Cook in the oven at 240°C for 25 minutes.
Collect the cooking juices and put them in a small saucepan.
Boil the juice for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice and the
fresh cream and allow to reduce. Add the butter in small knobs
and stir with a whisk.
Season this sauce and pour it over the trout. Decorate with the
remaining pieces of lime.

yolk and stuff the apples with the mixture.
Sprinkle with sugar. Put the caps back on the apples.
