This is one of my favorite appetizers to make. You will need to smoke the trout for about an hour to get that great smoke flavor into it. Blend it with the remaining ingredients and you’ll have a great dip.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 pound smoked trout fillets
• 1/2 cup sliced celery
• 1/3 cup sliced green onions
• 1/3 cup ricotta cheese
• 1/4 cup cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon margarine or butter
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
