Dish
Trotelle al vino rosso
Brook trout in red wine sauce
Trotelle al vino rosso is a delicious and elegant dish that is easy to prepare. To make the dish, start by seasoning the trout fillets with salt and pepper, then dredge them in flour. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the fish fillets and cook until golden brown on both sides. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add diced onions, garlic, and herbs, and cook until the onions are soft and fragrant. Add red wine to the skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer. Return the fish fillets to the skillet and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the fish is cooked through. Serve the fish with the sauce and a side of steamed vegetables or rice.
