Rosettes of Iowa Brook Trout

Saute celery, onion, red pepper, garlic, and shallots in the melted butter until about halfway cooked. Add portabellas. Cook until vegetables are tender. Reduce heat. Add broth, scallions, dash salt and pepper, mushroom powder, tabasco and worcestershire sauce. Let simmer 2-3 minutes, then turn off the heat.Fold bread crumbs in a little at a time until you reach the right consistency, then let cool.

In saucepan put your lemons, wine, shallots, and thyme. Let simmer. As the lemons soften, mash into pulp with wire whisk. Let this cook down until the lemons are completely broken up then lower heat. Slowly add butter to mixture while stirring (add 2-3 oz at a time) letting the butter melt into mixture completely each time before adding more. If sauce gets too hot or cold, it will separate. As you add the last of the butter, turn the heat off. Strain the sauce, and add salt and pepper to taste. Hold at room temperature.

Plate trout with a side of vegetables and top with sauce.

Serve and enjoy!
