Instructions:

Bring water or milk to a boil. Slowly pour the cornmeal into the boiling water. Stir in flour, salt and a little butter and let the tirggalen simmer on lowest heat for at least 1 hour. Stir constantly until a crispy crust forms on the bottom and edges. In the meantime, wash the brown trout, clean and pat dry. Sprinkle the inside with a little lemon, lightly salt all over and stuff each with a sprig of thyme. Wrap the trout with very thinly sliced pancetta and fry in a little clarified butter, first on high heat, later on low heat. After half of the frying time (about 15 minutes in total) turn the trout over and finish frying. Cut the bacon wrapper on the belly side of the trout and arrange the fish in the – spread open – bacon wrapper. Before serving, generously lard (baste) the tirggalen with hot clarified butter.
