#62 Trota in Carpione (Northern Lakes)

I learned carpione from a fisherman on Lago Maggiore who told me it was how families kept food through the summer heat. You fry the trout, cover it with a warm mix of vinegar, vegetables, and herbs, then leave it to rest. When I made it myself, the trout firmed up, the sharpness settled, and everything found its balance. It’s simple, practical, and smarter than it looks.

Full story with recipe, method, and tips coming soon on Substack (link in bio).

  1. You have to be the best channel for this! I tried some recipes, they were truly a thing of beauty! Keep up the good work, you are reminding me of what is really important!

  2. I love your series so much, as someone who grew up in Europe i wanna do the same learn and learn to cook more regional French dishes! Thanks for all of the inspiration

  3. È meglio se prima friggi le trote e poi le togli e fai il carpione nella stessa padella, così c'è più sapore nel carpione. Altre cose ottime da fare in carpione: le tinche, le cotolette di vitello o di pollo, le zucchine.
