  • About

Stuffed with porcini mushrooms and wrapped in smoky pieces of bacon, this is a delightful way of preparing the day’s catch. My grilling choice is trout, but carp or pike are just as tasty. Serve with a variety of pickles, sliced garden tomatoes, and perhaps a good Ukrainian beer.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole (3-pound) trout
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2

Method

Clean and gut the fish, then rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season the fish inside and outside with salt and black pepper and set aside.

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add the mushrooms. Cook the mushrooms until they give off their liquid and the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Stir in the dill, season with salt and black pepper,
