Ingredients: Rainbow Trout, Green Algae
Item Description: Pretty salty.
I don't really know what kind of soup to make. Chunky and salty. I wanna do something thats sort of slightly chowder-y, so im going to use smoked trout- whats that?? it says salmon on the packet? Look i'll level with ya... they had like a fancy slab of smoked trout for like £7 or a bucket of salmon flakes, perfect for souping, for like half that price. And they basically taste the same smoked? On top of that I got onion, potatoes, bonito flavoured soup stock, cream, and some spirulina powder for the green algae!
Gonna chop up the onions and fry them in the pot first, I should probably do a bit of garlic too!
While that browns I can chop and throw in the potatoes...
Then some hot water, bonito dashi stock, fish flakes and spirulina...
Then we can just let it stew for some time while the potatoes soften and the flavours... get all flavoury... and the entire kitchen smells like fish...
Mmm! I guess we knew it would come out a weird olive colour. But we're not done yet! We still need to add cream, and then see if it needs any other flavouring.
On a taste test, it's not very salty yet so i'll add some salt. Just enough to fit the description!
It's comforting and quite nice, as long as you like very fishy flavoured soups. Oh and you don't mind it looking like some sort of evil olive green gruel with grey lumps. The vegetables, cream and bonito make a nice flavourful backdrop really allowing the smoky fish flavour to be the main event. I have no idea what was intended for this dish but i'm really pleased with my take on it.
