Smoked Trout Dumplings With Potato Cream Sauce

It is clear that there must be difficulties for us in a revelation such as the Bible. If someone were to hand me a book that was as simple to me as the multiplication table, and say, “This is the Word of God. In it He has revealed His whole will and wisdom,” I would shake my head and say, “I cannot believe it; that is too easy to be a perfect revelation of infinite wisdom.” There must be, in any complete revelation of God’s mind and will and character and being, things hard for the beginner to understand; and the wisest and best of us are but beginners.

INSTRUCTIONS

Note: See the"Potato Truffle Sauce" recipe which is included in this
collection.  Bring a pot of water to a boil. In a small bowl combine
the trout,  mashed potatoes, butter, shallots, and chives. Mix well and
add salt  and pepper. Moisten the edges of wonton wrappers, a few at a
time,  and place a generous tablespoonful of filling in the center of
the  wrapper. Fold the wonton wrapper, opposite corners meeting,
forming a  triangle. Press firmly to seal. Place the dumplings in a pot
of  boiling salted water and poach for 3 minutes. Have a small saute
pan  slowly heating on the stove with a little oil. Remove the
dumplings  from the water and dab off any excess moisture. Carefully
place them  into the hot oil and sear until golden on one side. Serve
atop the  Potato Truffle Sauce. Garnish with chopped chives. This
recipe yields  4 servings.  Recipe Source: ESSENCE OF EMERIL with
