Smoked trout & green toum salad

Toum is a Levantine dressing where garlic isn’t just for flavour – it helps thicken the oil until you have a glossy sauce.

Ingredients

  • 500g ruby gem potatoes or other salad potatoes
  • 1 baby gem lettuce
  • 100g pack smoked trout

Toum

  • 1 medium free range egg yolk
  • 4 clove/s Garlic
  • ½ x 25g pack basil, leaves picked, plus extra to serve
  • ½ x 25g pack flat leaf parsley, leaves picked, plus extra to serve
  • ½ unwaxed lemon, zest and juice
  • 120ml vegetable oil

Method

  1. To make the toum, whizz the egg yolk, garlic, basil, parsley, lemon zest and juice in a food processor; season. While blending, slowly and continuously pour in the oil until it is all combined. This should produce a thick but pourable dressing.

  2. In a pan of salted water, boil the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, until a knife inserted goes in easily, then drain and halve while still warm. Cut the lettuce into 6 long wedges and arrange over a serving platter, top with the halved potatoes and smoked trout, then drizzle the dressing all over, leaving some more on the side for dipping. Scatter the extra herbs on the top and serve.

Cook’s tip

Cook's tip

For a more mayonnaise-like texture, add another 50ml oil to the toum, or if you want to loosen it a little, add 1 tbsp warm water.

And to drink...

The crisp berry flavours of Le Bijou Rosé De Sophie Valrose Coteaux De Béziers, France are a dream partner for smoked trout.
