Eleven Posted June 21, 2012 Report Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) Guy Fieri has nothing on me when it comes to leftovers: 1 6 oz smoked trout fillet 1/3 cup spaetzle (Wegmans has it, I don't want to hear a bunch of nonsense about this being exotic) 1/2 oz cheese of your choice, the lighter in color the better, and if smoked cheese (smoked swiss or gouda is best), even better still 2 celery ribs, trimmed of leaves 2 teaspoons olive oil 1 clove of a shallot, or about 1/6 of a red onion some coriander a/k/a cilantro a/k/a chinese parsley 1 good-sized lime Salt Pepper Ice, two good bowls, and a decent colander. Start boiling that spaetzle. It takes 20 mins. In the meantime, mince the shallot and cut the celery into small dice. Take the stems off of the coriander and rip the leaves (already small) into even smaller bits. Grate the cheese. 10 minutes into the spaetzle boil, start a small pan on low heat with the olive oil and minced shallot. Add the salt and pepper. Skin the trout and start pulling it into small pieces. Fix an ice water bath in one of the bowls. When spaetzle is done, drain it and throw it into the pan with the olive oil, shallot, pepper, salt. Leave it alone for a few minutes as it gets crisp on one side. Then throw it so the other side hits the pan, and sprinkle the cheese on top. Give it another couple of mins, and flip again for one minute. Then, back into the colander. Right into the ice water bath with that. Yes, with the cheese. Trust me. Once it's cold, it's into the other bowl. Put all other ingredients, save the lime, in there. Toss. Squeeze the lime over it. Toss again. (Yeah, my inner Beavis is laughing too, it's ok.) If you can, let it marinate in the fridge for an hour. If not, start eating. Feeds two for lunch and one hungry one for dinner. Pretty low-fat (it's just the oil and a small amount of cheese) and damned tasty. Improvised tonight. Edited June 21, 2012 by Eleven Quote
