Panfried Trout with Curry Butter

4 trout washed and cleaned flour seasoned with salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tbsps. butter

Curry Butter:
1 cup unsalted butter
1/2 onion, finely diced
2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
2 teaspoons of good quality curry powder
1/2 cup red bell pepper, freshly diced
1/2 cup chives, finely diced
salt to taste

Melt 1/2 cup butter in a frying pan, saute onion, garlic and curry powder, without burning the butter for 10 minutes. Add capsicum, chives and salt, remove pan from heat.

Soften remaining butter and beat into vegetable mixture. Chill until just firm. With a length of plastic wrap put the butter lengthwise on plastic and mould into a round shape. Twist both ends of the plastic and roll. Refrigerate until firm.

Dip the trout in seasoned flour. Shake off any excess flour. Melt butter in a large frying pan and when butter is bubbling but not burning, add the trout. Gently fry for approximately 10 to 15 minutes, turning once.

Remove the trout to warm plates. Cut the curry butter into slices and arrange on top of trout. Serve immediately.
