Trout with warm pine-nut dressing and fennel puree
Dressings
This was an interesting one, that's for sure. I'm not sure why it caught my eye to begin with, it's definitely not a recipe I'd typically pick out of a lineup. But I saw the words fennel and pine-nut and kind of got excited. It sounded... I don't know, fancy. Don't tell me warm pine nut dressing doesn't sound like something special? I admit, I had my doubts. Mainly the fact that the main ingredient in the dressing is porcini mushroom juice, the pungent liquid left over after rehydrating dried mushrooms. It does not smell good. But somehow, it all came together, stinky mushroom juice and all. I particularly liked the fennel puree, which could serve as a substitute for mashed potatoes in just about any situation. Though I am always slightly disappointed that the fennel flavor almost always cooks out, it's never as potent as I would've liked. Maybe next time I'll add in some fennel seeds at the end to really bring that flavor to the forefront.
