Best Runner Bean Smoked Trout Potato Salad Recipes

SMOKED TROUT AND POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Soak the onion slices in a bowl of ice water. Cover the potatoes with water in a pot; add a pinch of salt, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly; pat dry.
• Meanwhile, whisk the creme fraeche, vinegar, olive oil and mustard in a large bowl to make a smooth dressing. Stir in the dill. Drain the onion, pat dry and add to the dressing. Add the potatoes and cucumber, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
• Divide the watercress among 4 plates and add some potato salad to each. Flake the trout with your fingers and scatter on top. Serve with pumpernickel bread and/or pickled beets, if desired.

RUNNER BEAN, SMOKED TROUT & POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• To make the dressing, mix all the ingredients together in a jar and shake well. Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 10 mins until just tender, then drain. Cook the beans in boiling salted water for 10 mins until tender, then plunge into ice water and drain.
• Toss the warm potatoes and beans together with half the spring onions and parsley, and half the dressing. Spread over a platter, then scatter over the smoked trout. Scatter over the rest of the spring onions, drizzle with the remaining dressing and serve, or leave everyone to help themselves.

RUNNER BEAN TORTILLA WITH TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a pan of water to the boil, add the beans and cook for 5 mins or until just tender, then drain.
• Beat the eggs in a bowl with the lemon zest, garlic, olives and some pepper, then stir in the beans. Heat the oil in a 23cm non-stick frying pan. Pour in the egg mixture and gently stir for the first couple of mins so that you see the egg cooking and the raw egg flowing into the base of the pan as you move it. Leave to firm up for a few mins, then turn off the heat, cover and leave for 5 mins so that any raw egg on top cooks through.
• Put the lemon juice in a bowl and add the onion. Toss well, then add the tomatoes, basil and rocket (if using). Serve with wedges of tortilla, dusted with some parmesan if you like.

WARM RUNNER BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the beans in boiling salted water for 2-3 mins until tender, drain and set aside. Heat the oil in a small pan, fry the garlic until pale golden, then add the beans and season. Add the shallots and stir to combine, then remove from the heat. Serve warm or at room temperature drizzled with Sherry vinegar and sprinkled with chives.

HOT TEA-SMOKED TROUT WITH NEW POTATO & ROCKET SALAD

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in a large pan of salted water for about 15 mins. Drain well in a colander and allow them to steam dry for 5 mins.
• To make the dressing: mix the mustard, olive oil and vinegar with some seasoning. Stir in the spring onions, then pour the mixture over the warm potatoes and allow to cool.
• To make the smoking mixture, split the tea bags and empty the leaves into a bowl with the sugar and rice. Line a deep roasting tin with foil, tip the smoking mix on top and cover with another piece of foil. Place the tin onto the hob over a medium heat until it starts to smoke a little.
• Once you see smoke escaping, put the trout on top with a little bit of seasoning and cover with more foil, trapping the smoke inside. Lower the heat and leave to smoke for 20-22 mins until the trout is cooked - it should flake away from the bone when it is done.
• Add the rocket to the potato salad and gently stir to coat in the dressing. Divide between 4 plates and serve with the trout.

RUNNER BEANS WITH ROCKET & PARMESAN
