Trout Goujons with Tomato & Basil Sauce Serves: 3 - 4 children Per serving: For each of 3 children: 341 Kcal/ 21g fat For each of 4 children: 256 Kcal/ 16g fat Ingredients: 350g (12oz) chunky trout fillets 2 tablespoons plain flour 200ml (7fl oz) sunflower oil for frying salt quarters of lemon for serving Tomato and basil sauce: 150ml (5fl oz) passata (Italian smooth sieved tomatoes) 1 teaspoon tomato puree 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil salt and pepper

Trout Goujons with Tomato & Basil Sauce

Method:

Cut the fillets into finger-width strips about 7.5cm (3in) long to make the goujons. Place the flour on a plate and dip each goujon until they are well coated.

Place the oil in a small- medium frying pan and heat. Check temperature by placing a goujon in the pan. When it sizzles it will be hot enough to cook the remainder. Add in batches and cook all goujons until they are cooked which will take about 3-5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.

To make the tomato and basil dipping sauce:

Combine the passata, tomato puree and basil in a small bowl and mix until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Cooks’ Note:

By using a small to medium frying pan and cooking in batches, you will use less oil than using a large frying pan. To add variety a wider range of dips could be used with this recipe.
