For the beetroot salad: Dice the beetroot. Wash the spring onions, remove the outer layer, and cut the rest into small slices. Mix the oil and vinegar to make a marinade and season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in the beetroot and spring onions. Refrigerate and let it marinate. The salad can also be prepared the night before. For the fritters: Roast the almonds well in a dry pan and chop them. You can, of course, also use pre-chopped almonds, but then the residual flavor will be lost. Peel and grate the potatoes. My tip: Place the sweet potato in a bowl filled with water and microwave it for one to two minutes; this will stop it being rock hard. Wash, peel, and core the apple, then dice the fruit. Combine the potatoes, apple, almonds, flour, semolina, and eggs. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Form the potato mixture into small fritters. Fry them in 2 tablespoons of hot oil until golden brown. To keep the fritters warm, place them on a plate and bake in the oven at 60°C – 80°C. They can also be eaten cold. Finishing the tartar: Place dessert rings, approximately 6 cm in diameter, on the plates. Place two tablespoons of the lettuce into each ring. Tear the trout fillet with your hands or dice it with a knife. Place the pieces on top of the beetroot. Season the sour cream with salt and pepper. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sour cream and a few chives over the trout. Serve the fritters with the remaining sour cream and the tartar.
