In the Bag: Cooking the Month of May - The Round Up
Well, May is almost over and this month's ‘In the Bag’ event has closed. For this very first month Cherry, Scott and I challenged you to cook a dish using the 3 seasonal ingredients we had chosen - Asparagus, Sea Trout and Spring Onions.
The first entry was this stunning 'Sea Trout Koulibiac with Asparagus', created by Achilleas from Ala Grecque:
Susan of Porcini Chronicles gave us 'Trota al Cartoccio con Risotto di Asparagi (Trout Baked in Parchment with Asparagus Risotto)', which was, fantastically, baked in a bag!
Marona from El Tiempo de la Marmota took us in an entirely different direction with this Deep Fried Trout with Asparagus-Spring Onion Dip:
This 'Baked Sea Trout with Creamy Asparagus Sauce served with Bashed Potatoes and Spring Onions' came from Amanda of Little Foodies:
Lorraine from Italian Foodies went with a delicious 'Risotto con punte di asparagi':
Joanna of Joanna's Food made this 'Simple Seasonal Supper':
This 'Sea trout with asparagus n spring onions' was invented by Padmaja of Spicyandhra:
Our lovely Cherry of Cherry's English Kitchen whipped up 'Cherry's Seasonal Creamy Trout & Tarragon Pie':
My other co-host, Scott from Real Epicurean entered this interesting 'Chilled Radish Leaf and Asparagus Soup':
Finally, my own entry was a 'Lemon Asparagus and Sea Trout Pie:
Thank you so much to everyone who took part, I've really enjoyed hosting this and I can't wait to see what next month brings!

Excellent stuff! Many great entries.
Seasonal food is so exciting!
Great round up!
I'm looking forward to the next challenge! :-)
I love the idea of bashed potatoes! Apparently the concept of serving "crushed" potatoes in many top restaurants was because they found it too difficult to make lump-free mash. Crushing the potatoes therefore removes the problem, but to be honest I love the texture of both
Nice round up, I have bookmarked this page to try those wonderful recipes
They are all such wonderful entries. There are some wonderfully talented cooks out there and it's great to know that more and more folk are jumping on the eating seasonally bandwagon.
