Minted Trout - American Indian(Taos Indian Is Minted Trout) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

trout
mint (wild or garden variety)
1 Tbsp. salt
1/2 c. olive or cooking oil
2 strips bacon

Preparation

Mix either garden or fresh wild mint (yerba buena) with 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 cup olive or cooking oil.
Mash the mint with a spoon to release the flavor to the oil.
Then fill the cavity of a trout with the oily mint leaves.
Also wrap the trout with mint leaves and bind with one or two strips of bacon (according to the size of the trout).
Secure the bacon with a round toothpick.
Broil over charcoal, or under a broiler until the bacon is cooked.
The bacon will baste the trout with its oils and flavor and the mint will release its herbal taste to the trout, too.
