Fresh trout and feta tortellini
First a simple egg pasta dough:
Flour (durum or even AP in a pinch)
An egg
Water (careful, it doesn't take much!)
A dab of oil (mix it rather dry to feel but it needs to be silky smooth.)
A pinch of salt
Hand kneed (mix) ...Then roll out really thin... We used a full can of soda as a rolling pin.
Cut into 1.5" rounds... Free hand or use the top of a Red Bull can.
Then just off center, place a small tab of raw trout and a small crumble of feta cheese.(don't overstuff!)
Wet 1/2 of the pasta round with water (egg wash if you feel fancy), fold over & finger crimp, then a few minutes later turn it back onto itself around a pencil, into a closed C shape and pinch the two ends together. Let set for 15-25 minutes.
Meanwhile sauté minced garlic and a little butter in a pan. Deglaze in white wine and add sour cream and a little grated parm cheese for the sauce.
Then cook the tortellini, in salted boiling water for about 4 minutes or until it floats.
Combine the torts and sauce with a light toss.
Serve with "grilled cheese style" garlic bread and the rest of the wine.
You might want to practice making the tortellini, a time or two at home, before doing it out camping. ;-)
This is a great recipe especially if the fishing wasn't great... We made a good meal for two with one smallish trout!
