Certainly, here’s the corrected text:
“Sometimes a dish is not found until it is in front of you. We are lucky enough to have a river nearby as well as an abundance of trout and a chef wanting to spend time on the river. Yesterday, a fresh trout miraculously appeared in the refrigerator. The fishing chef cleaned up the fish and fired up the smoker. Aki grabbed the baton and made a smoked trout rillette with some fromage blanc, chives, and minced jalapeno. (Meanwhile, with the smoker still on, I snuck some celery in for a new one for me—smoked celery. Yes, once it was smoked, we compressed it.) We then went to work on several other vegetables. The result was a plate of crudités (truly bastardized) with smoked trout rillette. The tray was truly enjoyed; it returned empty. The components of the crudités sparked the idea of personalizing the large platter. We trimmed down a few of the vegetables while keeping the essence of the ingredients.”
