Smoked ocean trout rillettes,wasabi cream, pickled red onions

[courton]

I have just bought three containers ...Smoked ocean trout rillettes, wasabi cream and pickled red onions, each one holding 200 gms and paid $32.00!!! I bought it after much hesitation since I had it at a friend's place and it was soooooooo delish!!! The brand is "brilliant food" which you get in some speciality shops.

Now I am on the lookout for recipes so that i can make it at home.

Btw, you have it on light rice crackers as nibbles with drinks. Yummy.

Do any of you have a recipe for any or all of these? I have found a recipe for wasabi cream on taste.com but still looking for a good recipe for the other two that you can do on the TMX.

That is the joy of living in a metropolis. Sad me in Cairns.  You are in piggy heaven. I love going to P of K to indulge in the mark down food such as  a kilo of French Dijon for $9.99 Sadly I don't get to Sydney that often.  JD lives  in piggy heaven. The Adelaide  markets are to die for .  I love the Smell Cheese stall especially.

Oops I got sidetracked courton.  I mix a good squeeze of wasabi from the tube into some cream fraiche  and add some butter or cream..

Wow! Thank you goldfish and gert! I still can't believe I paid $32 for something that can ( hopefully) be replicated at home.

[gertbysea]

Nah that is fine. Buying it gave you the  idea and now if you make  any you will get how the flavours  are though pickled red onions can be aNy flavor you like.

It is not always a out the price eh ?

Gert

[courton]

[knittercook]

[courton]

Try it on crackers or crusty bread!

If there's anything you want from the Adelaide Market Gretchen, just let me know.

Very kind Judy. The last time I was at the market I had to get everything cryovac sealed so I could bring it home on the plane as I never check my bag and was all pretty smelly in my carry on.. When I got home I had to give so much away as my eyes were so much bigger than my stomach.  Now my stomach is enormous. LOL!

I think the thinking about all the good stuff is sometimes  better than actually having it. Are they selling roasted chestnuts in the market yet? I bought some here the other day but had to roast them myself.

I don't know Gretchen as I don't go there very often - maybe once a year if I'm lucky    If you wanted something though I would make a special trip just for you.

Oh Judy that is so generous.  I was hoping to come for a few days this month but no go. I am definitely trying for Nov as DH has meeting there. We need someone to come in and look after the dogs as one is too old to go to a kennel so fingers crossed.  Maybe we could meet for coffee there if you are lucky enough to get a trip to the markets this year.  Put Nov 15 in your diary.

Thanks Courton and Goldfish, these combinations sound heavenly 

I'm going to the kitchen to make pickled red onions now. I am following a diet and it is allowed!

Date on my calendar Gretchen, all being well here of course.
