Instructions: In large skillet, melt 2 tbsp of the butter over medium heat; cook onion, celery, mushrooms, salt and pepper for about 10 minutes or until liquid is evaporated. Stir in remaining butter, bread crumbs and basil.

Makes 4 cups.

TIP: Make more than you need to stuff the cavities of the trout and pack the extra stuffing just outside the cavity. No need for skewers to close the cavity; just wrap the stuffed trout and the stuffing in one or two sheets of foil and stick it on the barbecue or into the oven. Barbecue about 10 minutes for each side or bake for up to an hour at 350F. Brook trout bake in their own abundant fat and juice. Theyre done when you can sink a paring knife or a skewer easily into the side of the fish, through the thickest flesh, right down to the backbone.
