Ingredients
- 4 whl pan-dressed trout - (3/4 lb ea) head and tail
- Â Â removed
- 8 lrg lettuce leaves more if needed
- Â Â Salt to taste
- Â Â Freshly-grnd black pepper to taste
- Â Â Fresh thyme sprigs
- 4 x thin slices prosciutto or possibly other salted ham
- Â Â Vegetable oil for fish and grill
Directions
- Preheat the grill to high, or possibly heat coals till they glow red, with white ash around the edges. Rinse the trout and pat dry with paper towels.
- Lay 2 lettuce leaves on the work surface, slightly overlapping. Lay a trout in the center and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper inside and out. Top the fish with a few sprigs of thyme and lay a piece of prosciutto over them. Fold the lettuce leaves over the fish and tie 2 or possibly 3 strings around the fish to hold the lettuce secure. Depending on the size of your lettuce leaves, you may need to use another one to enclose the fish. Do not worry about small gaps or possibly splits in the lettuce; just cover the fish as well as you can.
- Lightly brush the out side of the trout packets with oil and rub a lightly oiled towel or possibly cloth over the grill. Set the pkgs. on the grill and cook till the lettuce is well browned, 5 to 7 min. Turn and continue grilling till the outside is proportionately browned and the fish is cooked through the thickest part (cut to test), about 7 min longer.
- Transfer to plates and allow your guests to open their own trout packets; throw away the string and lettuce.
- This recipe yields 4 servings.
- Comments: Wrapping fish in leaves before grilling not only helps hold the fish together as it cooks, but also keeps it succulent and moist. You can use the less-than-perfect outer leaves from a couple of heads of lettuce, saving the tender inner leaves for a salad to serve alongside. Use kitchen string to secure the lettuce leaves: soak about a dozen 8-inch lengths in water for 10 min first, to keep them from burning on the grill.
