Method
Ingredients
Place the dressing ingredients in a food processor and blend until emulsified, adjusting the seasoning and pomegranate juice to taste if necessary.
Bring the red wine vinegar to a simmer in a small saucepan, then remove from the heat
and add the sliced red onions. Set aside to cool.
Scrape out the tomato seeds and cores using a teaspoon. Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the trout. Pour half of the pomegranate dressing over the trout and toss to coat. Allow to stand for 5–10 minutes.
Sprinkle the quinoa onto a large platter, top with the tomato petals, pickled red onion, coriander, mint and chilli.
Top with the trout and drizzle with any remaining dressing. Serve immediately.
Loved every morsel, wish I took a pic, I prepared it for a dinner with friends paired with crisp and cold white wine ( can’t recall the brand) on a summer night – it was lovely – I wish it kept well… as it’s so yummy you would want the day after but hey you can get seconds….
