Traditional Welsh Recipes

Brithyll Cymreig mewn Cig Mochyn (Welsh Trout in Bacon).

Trout are plentiful in the lakes and clear Welsh streams and this is a simple and tasty method of presenting them. 

Gut and clean the trout. Pack the cavity of each trout with a knob of butter, a sprig of parsley, a slice of lemon and add a twist of black pepper. Wrap 2 rashers of bacon around each trout and brush with melted butter. Place the fish under a hot grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. Melt a little extra butter with the juices from the fish, add the chopped chives and parsley and pour over each fish. Serve with parsley potatoes, carrots and minted peas.
