Le Gruyère AOP apple salad with smoked trout

20'

Do fish and cheese go together? They do indeed - in fact, they go very well together. In my recipe, I combine smoked trout from the Grabenmühle in Sigriswil with a Le Gruyère AOP apple salad. The combination of strong-tasting cheese and sweet-sour apple with fish is excellent - and perfect as a starter for a warm summer's day. If you don't like smoked fish, you can instead pan-fry the trout and eat it warm with the salad. I particularly love trout because it has a delicate flavour and doesn't drown out the taste of the Le Gruyère AOP apple salad - rather, it accompanies it perfectly. I hope you enjoy making this recipe - and bon appetit!

Delicious to know

The shallots are blanched so that their taste doesn't overpower the dish. Blanching involves dipping the food item for a short time (a few seconds) in boiling, salted water and then immediately cooling it off in cold water.
