Smoked Trout and Sunchoke Salad - May 9, 2010

Smoked Trout and Sunchoke Salad with Sunflower Sesame 'Crackers'

This is our favorite sunchoke (aka Jerusalem artichoke) recipe that we've adapted from 'Asparagus to Zucchini.' We picked up smoked trout from Star Prairie at the Mill City Farmers' Market on Saturday and of course got some lovely sunchokes in our CSA delivery. We mixed a trout fillet with some plain yogurt, lemon juice, diced sunchokes and chopped ramps in a food processor (much like a tuna salad, but with trout and sunchokes standing in for the tuna and celery). We placed this salad on a bed of spinach and sorrel. The lemon flavor of the sorrel was great with the fish. We garnished with some of the French breakfast radishes and served with some sunflower sesame toasts.
