Braised trout
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Trout can be cooked in various ways. It's very popular when baked. Many probably don't know how delicious it is when stewed. To prepare stewed trout, we'll need a medium-sized fish, preferably fresh. If you'd like to make the dish spicier, add more chili peppers. And don't be put off by the caramel sauce—the fish turns out exquisite. The ready dish can now be served.
