Introduction

Even Hemmingway mentioned Trucha a la Navarra in honour of a friend that died in the famous running of the bulls that takes place in Navarra’s capital Pamplona. A simple dish to make, using whole trout filled with smoked streaky bacon and baked in the oven. The fish is then served with a drizzle of nutty almond pesto.

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6.
Rub the inside of each trout with a piece of garlic. Place two slices of the streaky bacon inside each trout and place on a baking tray that has been greased with butter, drizzle with some olive oil and sprinkle some sea salt and a few turns of black pepper.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until the fish is cooked through – the eyes will have turned white and the flesh will be soft to touch.
For the almond pesto, place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until well mixed but the pesto is still coarse.
Serve the baked trout with a spoonful of the pesto.
