Method
- Heat the oven to 180ºC fan/gas 6. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the leek and cook for 5 minutes until beginning to soften. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Next add the lemon zest and juice, butter beans, spring greens and plenty of seasoning. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the greens begin to wilt. Stir in the cream and half the dill, then transfer to a medium baking dish.
- Toss the breadcrumbs with the remaining oil, dill and some salt. Sprinkle over the beans and bake for 15 minutes until golden and bubbling.
- Put the trout on a lined baking tray, drizzle with a little olive oil and season. Put in the oven, below the gratin, for the last 6 minutes of cooking.
- Serve the gratin and trout, sprinkled with extra dill, lemon zest and lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
