Note: In lieu of fresh trout, 1/2 lb cooked and flaked fish may be used. Make smaller protions and serve as an appetizer. Oatcakes that have been gently warmed in the oven go well with this dish.
Pickled Herring recipe
With the sauce prepared in advance, this colorful dish makes a quick entree for two, good served over fluffy rice.
Very good with grilled fish, grilled chicken, as a party dip, and even as a sandiwch spread for grilled pork or beef.
If you run out of preserved lemons, or decide on just a few day's notice to cook a chicken, lamb, or fish dish with lemons and olives and need preserved lemons in a hurry, you can use this quick five-day method taught to me by a Moroccan diplomat's wife. Lemons preserved this way will not keep, but are perfectly acceptable in an emergency.
