    1      medium        onion -- chopped
      1/2  cup           chopped celery
    1      cup           sliced mushrooms
    1      cup           crumbled cornbread
    4 1/2  ounces        ripe olives -- chopped
      1/2  cup           sour cream

 PANTRY: 1 TROUT: (4- to 5-pound) fresh sea trout, with head on, or 4 small
 trout (2/3 to 3/4 pound each)
 
 Preheat the grill.
 
 Wash and drain the fish. Sprinkle the outside and inside of the trout with the
 dill, salt, and pepper. In a medium skillet, heat the bacon fat, add the
 onion, celery, and mushrooms, and saute until soft. Add the cornbread, olives,
 sour cream, and melted butter. If necessary moisten with water slightly to
 make the stuffing hold together. Stuff the cavity of the fish with the mixture
 and close securely. Arrange 4 lemon slices on each side of fish. Place trout
 in oiled fish basket. Place basket on grill and cook until done, 10 minutes
 per inch of thickness, including stuffing, or about 15 minutes per side. Or
 place the fish in 2 greased rectangular baking pans, garnish the fish with
 lemons, and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes per inch of thickness,
 including stuffing, about 15 to 20 minutes.Yield: 4 servings
