Pan Roast Carolina Mountain Trout Recipe

For the Anson Mills Carolina Gold Rice with Butterbeans

1. 1

   Cook the Rice

   In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of Anson Mills Carolina Gold Rice with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

2. 2

   Prepare the Butterbeans

   In a separate pot, bring 2 cups of butterbeans (canned or cooked) to a simmer with a bit of water, salt, and pepper to taste. Cook for about 5 minutes until heated through.

3. 3

   Pan Roast the Trout

   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the trout fillets with salt and black pepper. Place the fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through.

4. 4

   Serve

   Plate the rice and butterbeans, and place the pan-roasted trout on top. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the trout and garnish with chopped parsley.
