This very old recipe has only one drawback, it must be made with freshly caught trout and killed just a few minutes before being cooked so that they retain all the mucus covering them

Ingredients for 4 servings

Trout au Bleu for 4 people:

4 trout
4 carrots
2 onions
bay leaf
lemon
vinegar
a little melted butter
salt and pepper

Step-by-step directions

1 Prepare a court-bouillon (water + onion and carrots cut into slices, thyme, bay leaf salt and pepper) then add 1/10 of this volume in vinegar.

2 Clean your trout through the gills and especially do not wash them place them on a small plate and pour over them a good splash of vinegar

3 Poach them in your court-bouillon without boiling (7 minutes for a trout of 150 to 180 g).
Serve your trout au bleu in a "very simple" way, melted butter and yellow lemon juice: a real delight!
