Place each trout on a piece of aluminum foil. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then stuff the cavity with 1 tablespoon of butter, green pepper, and garlic.

Marshmallow-Peanut Butter Fudge
This is a great peanut butter fudge, that a friend of mine gave me a couple of years ago. It is VERY rich, hence the 8 dozen tiny squares. DEE-LICIOUS! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, and that's saying a lot because I am a chocolate FIEND--but this has NO chocolate in it!

Demi-Glace
Learn how to make demi-glass with a pure veal stock reduction, fortified with nothing more than mirepoix and tomato. There's really not much to it! I don't do the classic roux-based espagnole sauce, which is traditionally mixed with veal stock and reduced by half.
