Smoked trout, avocado and snowpea salad
Mother's Day breakfast in bed won't cut it on its own - mum's not setting foot in the kitchen. On Sunday week, as she slips on a silk robe and face pack and settles back with a martini, a packet of Tim Tams and a Jackie Collins, it's everyone else's turn to hit the kitchen and whip up the meals.
Ingredients
2 smoked trout (about 800g)
300g trimmed snowpeas
three small lebanese cucumbers
2 baby cos lettuce
1 peeled, seeded and thinly sliced avocado
salt flakes and cracked black pepper
3/4 cup good quality mayonnaise
1/2 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
4 peeled and quartered hard-boiled eggs
Method
Remove skin and bones from 2 smoked trout (about 800g) and flake flesh into medium-sized pieces.
Blanch 300g trimmed snowpeas in boiling lightly salted water for 30 seconds, then drain and refresh under cold running water. Drain well and spread on paper towel to dry.
Thinly slice three small lebanese cucumbers lengthways and place in a large bowl with one finely sliced stick of celery. Add leaves from 2 baby cos lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces.
Add trout and snowpeas to cucumbers and 1 peeled, seeded and thinly sliced avocado.
Season with salt flakes and cracked black pepper and toss gently with 3/4 cup good quality mayonnaise.
To serve
Divide salad among 4 serving plates and top with 4 peeled and quartered hard-boiled eggs.
Scatter with 1/2 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves and serve with lime cheeks.
