Trout "Vento del Garda"
4 servings
20 minutes
Trout 'Vento del Garda' is the embodiment of Italian gastronomic elegance inspired by the freshness of Lake Garda. This recipe combines tender trout fillet with the aromas of garlic, bay leaves, and vegetables, creating a rich bouquet of flavors. Olive oil gives the dish a characteristic softness while chili pepper adds a light spiciness. Stewing with white wine, fish broth, and tomato sauce makes the fish juicy, rich, and infused with Mediterranean spirit. The dish is perfect for an outdoor dinner with a glass of white wine that reveals its complex aroma. It’s a culinary painting where each ingredient plays its role and the taste lingers in memory like a breeze over Lake Garda.
