When I first visited Slovenia the Detela family took me out to a restaurant one day for lunch. This was the dish I ordered and I love it! It’s fresh, tasty and as I found when I tried to make it recently, not actually that difficult.
Check out my recipe below…
Ingredients
1 trout per person gutted, cleaned and patted dry
4 slices of proscuitto ham per fish
1 clove of garlic per fish, crushed
1 tbsp finely chopped parsley per fish
250ml white wine
50g butter
Seasoning
Instructions
Generously butter a roasting dish large enough to fit the fish laying flat
Place the garlic and parsley into the fish
Wrap the prosciutto ham around each fish to seal it, season with salt and pepper
Place fish into roasting tin
Pour wine over fish
Place in oven on 180°C and roast for 30 minutes
Remove the fish from the oven and keep warm
Simmer the juices until slightly thickened
Serve the fish with the sauce poured over it and a generous wedge of lemon

What kind of wine did you use?
A medium to dry white, if you can get a Slovene Malvasia perhaps that would be fine. Otherwise, avoid anything too oaky. A Pinot Grigio or Pinot Gris would be OK. Chablis too.
