Woodland Bundles

These woodland bundles offer a sophisticated and heart-healthy approach to light dining or elegant entertaining. This nutritious dish combines the subtle smokiness of trout with the nutty texture of bulgur wheat, sweetened naturally with dried currants and toasted pine nuts. Wrapped in vibrant romaine lettuce leaves, these parcels provide a fresh, crisp exterior that perfectly balances the savoury, complex filling. Using walnut oil adds a delicate depth of flavour while providing essential omega-3 fatty acids for a wholesome finish.

Ideal as a refined starter or a light lunch, these bundles are as visually striking as they are delicious. The method of blanching the leaves ensures they are pliable enough to roll while maintaining their beautiful forest-green colour. This recipe is a fantastic choice for those looking for a homemade, low-cholesterol meal that doesn't compromise on taste or texture.

Ingredients for Woodland Bundles

  • 475ml acqua

  • 180ml bulgur

  • 40g finely shredded smoked trout

  • 40g dried currants

  • 40g pine nuts, toasted

  • 1 1/2 cucchiai di succo di limone fresco

  • 2 tablespoons walnut oil or extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 cucchiaino di bicarbonato di sodio

  • 20 large cos leaves (from 2 to 3 heads

  • not hearts)

  • 1 tablespoon walnut oil or extra-virgin olive oil

Bring water to a boil with 1/2 teaspoons salt. Pour over bulgur in a heatproof bowl and let stand, uncovered, until bulgur is tender but still chewy, about 15 minutes. Drain well in a sieve, then transfer to a bowl. Add trout, currants, pine nuts, lemon juice, walnut oil, and 1/2 teaspoons each of salt and pepper, stirring gently to combine.

While bulgur stands, bring a 6- to 8-quarts pot of salted water to a boil (2 tablespoons salt for 3.8L water) and add bicarbonate of soda. Blanch cos leaves in batches until slightly wilted but still bright green, about 1 minute. Remove with tongs and plunge into an ice bath.

Line a work surface with 3 layers of paper towel, then arrange 2 lettuce leaves, rib sides down, on paper towels. Top with 3 more layers of paper towel, then roll over leaves with a rolling pin, crushing ribs. Remove top layers of paper towel. Trim enough from bottom of each leaf to form an 8-inch-long leaf. Repeat with remaining leaves, replacing paper towels as needed. (You will have 4 extra leaves, in case any tear.)

Arrange 1 leaf with wider end nearest you. Put 2 tablespoons of filling 1 1/2 inches from bottom of leaf. Roll up, gently squeezing to compact filling and keeping a 1/2-inch border on either side free of filling, and fold in sides as you roll. Transfer, seam side down, to a plate. Make 15 more bundles in same manner. Just before serving, drizzle with walnut oil.
