Prep Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:
•6 fresh rainbow trout
•6 or more slices bacon
•1 or 2 large onions, chopped
•lemon pepper seasoning
•1 lemon, quartered

Preparation:
Clean the fish by gutting it and cutting off its head. Wash very well. Pat dry with paper towels. For each fish: Sprinkle insides with seasoning and stuff with onion. Then spray outside of fish with Pam, sprinkle outside of skin with seasonings, and wrap each fish with 1-2 bacon slices, depending on size of fish. Place each fish on a piece of foil that has been sprayed with Pam. Wrap well and place on hot grill for 10-15 minutes or longer, depending on size of fish. You can also place in the coals of fire, but it may cook quicker. When done, open carefully and enjoy.

Accompaniment: Drunk Risotto

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients:
•1 cup Arborio rice
•1 small onion, finely diced
•1 carrot, finely diced
•1 stalk celery, finely diced
•1/2 teaspoon thyme
•2 15-ounce cans chicken stock
•1/2 cup mushrooms, chopped
•3 tablespoons olive oil
•Parmesan cheese
•salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation:
Get out the 2-burner stove. On one burner, put the chicken stock in a pan and bring to a low simmer. This will be later added to the rice. It’s best when heated so that it doesn’t shock the rice. If stock isn’t available use beer. On the other burner, bring a large skillet to medium heat. Add the olive oil and diced vegetables. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent. Now add the rice and thyme to the skillet and stir frequently for a few minutes. Now begins the cycle of adding liquid a ladle at a time, stirring until the liquid is mostly absorbed, adding more liquid, stirring again, and repeating this for about 20-30 minutes. At this point add the mushrooms. Stir, add more liquid, stir some more until ready to serve. You can tell when it is ready to serve, because the rice will have cooked to a creamy smooth texture. If it gets too dry, add more liquid and stir a bit more. Many risotto recipes add Parmesan to the rice while cooking. Or allow each person to add their own salt, pepper and Parmesan to taste.
