  1. Very Tasty, tried this tonight, thanks for the post. 0.45k cost €7.3 in SuperQuinn today.

    Greece the foil before placing the trout, to avoid the skin sticking, this helps in cleaning the foil for recycling.

    Because the instructions said “pour over all the other ingredients” this included the spring onions for me, that turned out fine, as opposed to sprinkling them.

    I suggest you move the ingredients mentioned in the last line of the instructions to the Ingredients list, so others are no like me and scrambling for ingredients at the end because they only read each step as they went along!

  2. Hi Boardtc, thanks for the feedback. I’m always doing that with recipes – not reading them through to begin with and then finding myself caught short when it’s too late or towards the end of the meal.
    I’ve altered the article so I hope the recipe is less likely to lead to mistakes. Two interesting article on the perils of recipe writing, the first a light-hearted one from the Guardian’s Word of Mouth blog:

    And a slightly more serious, but interesting, guide-of-sorts from wine and gardening website Strat’s Place, with enough rules to spin my head:
