Polenta pancakes with trout pâté

Serves 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cooking Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

For the trout pâté:

180 g Woolworths poached trout with lemon and dill, flaked
125 g cottage cheese
125 g mayonnaise
10 g dill, roughly chopped
1 spring onion, thinly sliced
1 lemon, zested and juiced
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For the polenta pancakes:

8 free-range eggs
½ cup full-cream milk
90 g polenta
90 g flour
1 t baking powder
a pinch sea salt
Woolworths trout caviar, for serving (optional)
10 g Italian parsley, for serving
10 g dill, roughly chopped, for serving
2 lemons, cut into wedges, for serving

Method

1. To make the pâté, combine all the ingredients into a chunky mixture. Refrigerate until ready to use.

2. To make the pancakes, whisk 2 eggs with the milk.

3. Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl, then whisk the wet ingredients into the dry until a smooth batter forms.

4. Heat a pan over a medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Pour a spoonful of batter into the centre of the pan and cook for 1–2 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface. Turn over and cook on the other side until golden brown. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Set aside the pancakes until ready to use.

5. Boil the remaining eggs for 6–8 minutes, then dunk into iced water, peel and halve.

6. To serve, dollop the trout pâté onto the pancakes and spoon over some caviar if you like. Scatter with the parsley and dill and serve with the eggs and lemon wedges.

Cook's note: If you have leftover batter, cook the pancakes and freeze for up to a month.
