method
1. Wash the trout well inside and pat dry.
2. Melt half the butter or margarine in a medium saucepan. Add onions, celery, red pepper, spring onions and garlic. Cook over a moderate heat for about 3 minutes to soften the vegetables. Stir in the white pepper, cayenne pepper and black pepper, dill and parsley.
3. Remove from the heat, add the breadcrumbs and gradually beat in the egg, adding just enough to hold the stuffing ingredients together. Season with salt.
4. Stuff the cavity of each trout with an equal amount of the stuffing and place the trout in a baking dish.
5. Spoon over the remaining butter and bake, uncovered, in a pre-heated 180°C (350°F) Gas Mark 4 oven for about 25 minutes. Brown under a pre-heated grill before serving, if desired.
