MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Campfire Trout Categories: Five, Seafood, Vegetables Yield: 4 Servings 4 (6 - 8 oz) fresh caught - rainbow trout; gutted, - heads optional 2 Handsful wild onion greens - or chives Salt & Pepper Lemon juice First catch your trout - if you don't you go hungry. Gut the fish and stuff the cavity with onion/chive greens. Make a thick mud using river water and dirt from the bank. Pack the stuffed fish into a coating and place in the coals of your campfire, surrounding the entire packet. When the mud has baked hard the fish is done. Break open and discard the mud - taking care not to get bits into the cavity. The scales of the fish will come away with the mud. Season with salt & pepper and lemon juice and ENJOY!!! First made by me on the Kern River between Bodfish and Johnsondale, California in July 1966. RECIPE FROM: Walt "Thunder Belly" Turner Uncle Dirty Dave's Kitchen MMMMM ....
