Instructions:

For the spelt beer batter, mix the flour with yolks and beer until smooth. Add salt, sugar and melted butter. Allow to swell for 20 minutes. Whip the egg whites until not too stiff and fold into the beer batter.

For the root vegetables, wash or peel carrots, yellow beets, leeks and celery in cold water and cut into fine strips.

Cook the vegetables in a little salted water until al dente, rinse, toss in butter, season and keep warm.

For the lemon sauce, bring the shallots to the boil in wine and vermouth and reduce. Add the lemon juice and vinegar and stir in the cold butter a little at a time. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Heat the clarified butter. Rinse the trout fillets in cold water, pat dry, salt and roll in flour, shaving off excess flour. Pull the fillets through the beer batter and fry in hot clarified butter until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Place the root vegetables in the center of the preheated plates and place the trout fillets in spelt beer batter on top. Pour the lemon sauce over them.

Preparation Tip:

Pike perch fillets and cod are also wonderful for fish fillets in spelt beer batter.
