Herb salsa
  • 1 cup finely chopped fresh herbs (mix of basil and parsley, for instance)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Fresh lemon juice, as needed
  • Good pinch chili flakes, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt

Preparation

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wide saucepan. Add the onion and cook on medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes (stir occasionally). Add kohlrabi, squash, kale and garlic, and cook for about 10 minutes, medium heat, stirring regularly. Add the beans, continue for another 5 minutes, then season to taste.

Heat the remaining oil in a wide skillet. Season the trout fillets with salt and pepper. Skin-side down, pan-fry the trouts for about 4 minutes on medium-high heat. Turn over and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Divide the bean stew over four plates and place a fillet on top of each plate. Garnish with a dollop herb salsa (or serve on the side).
