SMOKED TROUT DIP WITH PICKLED VEGGIES AND QUAIL EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat a smoker to medium heat (per manufacturer's directions) and add the wood chips.
• For the trout dip: In a perforated half-200 or 2-inch deep pan, rub the fish with the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Put the fish into the smoker and allow to smoke for about 15 minutes. Remove and let cool, then pick flesh into large pieces.
• Mix the smoked trout with the lemon juice, olive oil, sour cream, chives and dill. Season with salt and set aside.
• For the pickled veggies: Put the haricots, shallots and cauliflower florets in their own bowls. Heat the vinegar and sugar and a pinch of kosher salt in a small saucepan over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Stir, then pour over all the veggies individually until fully covered. Allow to cool completely to room temperature.
• Bring one quart water to a boil in a small saucepan. Drop the quail eggs into the water and simmer for 2 minutes. Put directly into an ice bath. Peel when cooled, then quarter into wedges and reserve.
• Rub the toasted bread with the garlic and sprinkle with the flaked sea salt. Drizzle with the finishing oil. Slice the bread into 1-inch-thick planks.
• Add the trout dip to a serving bowl and top with the pickled veggies and quail egg and garnish with the dill. Serve with the bread.

Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, until they begin to lose their shape, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the smoked trout and season with salt and pepper.
• Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides with vegetable oil (use 1 tablespoon oil per slice); season with salt and pepper. Broil the bread, turning once, until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Stir half of the herbs into the trout mixture, then spoon onto the toasts. Toss the fennel with the remaining chopped herbs, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, the fennel fronds and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Serve with the toasts.
