    Ingredients

    100g caster sugar

    1 red chilli, halved

    2 rosemary sprigs

    150g essential Waitroserhubarb,cut into 2.5cm pieces

    50g salted butter

    2 tbsp essential Waitrose white wine vinegar

    ½ lemon, sliced

    ½ x 20g pack dill, stalks and sprigs separated

    140g pack kiln smoked rainbow trout fillets

    large handful toasted flaked almonds

    1 tbsp essential Waitrose soured cream (or natural yogurt)

    Method

    1. Boil the sugar in 500ml water with the chilli and rosemary, until dissolved. Stir the rhubarb into the boiling syrup, take the pan off the heat and cover with cling film. Leave to cool for 15 minutes (or completely), then remove the rhubarb with a slotted spoon. Set both the rhubarb and syrup aside.

    2. In a separate pan, heat the butter, vinegar, lemon, dill stalks and 500ml water. Once simmering, add the trout fillets and poach very gently for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the fish.

    3. Divide the fish and rhubarb between plates, topping with the dill sprigs and a splash of the rhubarb syrup. Scatter over the almonds and finish with a blob of the soured cream (or yogurt). Serve, with new potatoes and lemon, if liked.
