Its been few days, I have posted something, its not that I haven’t been  cooking but its just that we had guests over the weekend we were going around  to cambridge and other places nearby. We love cambridge, a vibrant city and enjoy walking the university colleges, punting, open top bus rides, walking tours and many more.

Whenever we have friends coming over to visit us, one place we always take them to is Cambridge an amazing fusion of the ancient history and modern day living, so much happening there and a city that has shaped history. Who can forget the history, people and discoveries that happened here.

(The American cemetery at Cambridge where Approx 4000 people who died in both the world wars were laid to rest)

Great people like Sir Isaac Newton, Ramanujan both from Trinity college , the Old Cavendish laboratory which was famous for its discoveries as DNA, Neutron and Electron, Queens college famous for it 12th century mathematical bridge, Kings College and the world famous College Chapel, Darwin college named after him who sat at the very banks of the river that flows through the city and wrote the “Origin of the Species”.We have been going to this place every month taking our friends or family whoever visits us and everytime its an amazing experience. We find something fascinating about this city which pulls us there every now and then.

The other day I saw Julia’s blog, A Slice of Cherry Pie and saw her event which she has teamed up with Cherry from Cherry’s English Kitchen and Scott at Real Epicurean for a regular blogging event based around seasonal produce.
I was quite intrigued and found it very challenging as we have to cook a dish with three seasonal products and create your own dish with.

And the May bag contained:

Asparagus
Sea Trout
Spring Onions

I made dishes with these ingredients in different recipes but never attempted to combine all of them.
I was quite apprehensive when I went to buy this fish at our local fishmonger and how to come up with a combined dish.
But I always liked a challenge and even without thinking twice, i created this wonderful dish and it was an absolute delicacy!!!
Both hubby and noel thoroughly enjoyed a hearty meal today.

So here’s the recipe
Sea Trout: 2
Ginger Garlic paste: 2 tbsp
Chilli powder: 1 tsp
Lemon : 1(squeezed)
Spring Onions, couple thinly sliced.
Salt to taste
Oil: 1tsp

Mix all these ingredients and rub on the fish and stuff in between as well.
leave for 1/2 hr and bake them in the oven at medium level(gas mask 7)
I usually wrap my fish in kitchen foil and cook for 15 min and then take it off and bake for another 5 min to brown the top. This wrapping in aluminium foil tip, i watched Jamie Oliver’s programme and i had been following ever since.

Grill Asparagus 5 min on either side on grill and serve immediately with the fish.

We enjoyed eating this delicious fish for lunch today.
