Treat your ingredients with care...

Trout fillets — Make sure to choose fresh and high-quality trout fillets for the best flavor. If trout is not available, you can substitute it with other white fish such as cod or haddock.

Tips & Tricks

To enhance the flavor of the dish, marinate the trout fillets in the red wine for 30 minutes before cooking.
For a more intense wine flavor, use a full-bodied red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with water to the sauce and simmer until thickened.

Serving advice

Serve the Trotelle al Vino Rosso hot, accompanied by a side of roasted vegetables or creamy polenta. Garnish with fresh parsley for an added touch of freshness.

Presentation advice

Arrange the trout fillets on a plate and drizzle the reduced wine sauce over them. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a pop of color. Serve with a side of vibrant roasted vegetables to create an appealing and visually pleasing presentation.
