Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 4- ounce skin-on trout fillets
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 16 cocktail tomatoes on the vine, preferred
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 yellow onion peeled and diced
  • 6 cloves garlic peeled and minced
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 5 cups water or stock
  • 2 cups corona beans soaked overnight
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For serving:

  • Warm toasted baguette slices
  • Fresh minced parsley

Instructions

Char the tomatoes:

  • In a wide sauté pan, heat the 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the tomatoes on the vine and cook for 1-2 minutes. Transfer to the broiler and broil for 5-7 minutes or until the skins begin to char and blister. Return the pan to the stovetop and, using tongs, transfer the tomatoes to a bowl. Once the tomatoes are cool enough to handle, discard the stems. Set aside.

Prepare the soup broth:

  • Return the sauté pan to medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter is melted and frothy, add the yellow onion and cook for 6-7 minutes until softened and beginning to brown. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 45 seconds.
  • Add the crushed red pepper and the reserved tomatoes and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour in the water or stock and scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. Bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Then, reduce heat and stir in the corona beans. Cover and simmer for 1 hour or until the beans are softened but not split open. Taste and season to your preferences.

Prepare the trout:

  • Pat the trout dry and season all over with salt and pepper.
  • In a skillet, heat the 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil over medium high heat. Once very hot, add the trout fillets, skin-side down, and cook without moving for 5 minutes or until the skin is very crispy. Flip and cook an additional 3-6 minutes or until the trout reaches your desired internal temperature. Cook the trout in batches, if necessary.
  • Turn off the heat and transfer the trout to a plate.

To serve:

  • Ladle the spicy corona bean soup into bowls and serve with a seared trout fillet on top. Sprinkle each dish with minced parsley and serve with warm bread. Enjoy!
