TROUT STUFFED WITH GARLIC AND SPINACH



Trout Stuffed With Garlic and Spinach image

This is from a small cookbook my DM picked up at the Gilroy Garlic Festival some years ago "Totally Garlic Cookbook" by Helene Siegel and Karen Gillinham. This sure looks like a meal meant to be cooked right here in my home...some feel I use too much garlic, I say Never too much garlic.
