STUFFED SOLE PAUPIETTES

STUFFED SOLE PAUPIETTES


75 g butter or margarine

1 small onion, skinned and chopped

225 g button mushroom, wiped and trimmed

75 g fresh breadcrumbs

finely grated rind of 1 lemon

15 ml chopped fresh tarragon leaves

salt and pepper

18 lemon sole quarter-cut fillets, skinned

300 ml dry white wine

30 ml flour

about 90 ml double cream, at room temperature

fresh tarragon sprigs, to garnish


  1. Make the surfing. Melt 25 g of the butter in a saucepan, add the onion and fry gently until lightly coloured.

  2. Meanwhile, slice half the mushrooms and chop the remainder very finely. Put the chopped mushrooms in a bowl with the breadcrumbs, lemon rind and tarragon.

  3. Add the softened onion, season to taste and stir well.

  4. Place a sole fillet, skinned side uppermost, on a board. Put a teaspoonful of stuffing on one end of the filet. Roll the fish up around it. Secure with a wooden cocktail stick.

  5. Stand in an upright position in a well-buttered baking dish. Repeat with remaining sole fillets, placing them side by side in the dish.

  6. Mix together the wine and 150 ml water and pour over the fish. Cover loosely with foil and bake in the oven at 190°C mark 5 for 15 minutes.

  7. Remove the fish from the cooking liquid with a slotted spoon and discard the cocktail sticks. Place the fish in a single layer in a warmed serving dish, cover and keep warm. Strain the liquid and reserve.

  8. Melt 25 g butter in a saucepan. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring. Remove from the heat, then gradually stir in the reserved cooking liquid. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring until thick.

  9. Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter in a frying pan, add the finely sliced mushrooms and fry gently.

  10. Whisk the cream into the sauce. Pour a little sauce over each paupiette; then garnish with sliced mushrooms and tarragon sprigs. Pour any remaining sauce into a warmed sauce boat and hand separately.

I love them served room temperature with a cold beer on a summer day! You can also begin cooking the peanuts, then let them soak overnight, and continue cooking the next day. Serve hot or cold, and make sure you have plenty of napkins on hand because these are messy.” Ingredients: 1 tablespoon butter 1 large onion, cut into wedges 30 cloves garlic 1 1/2 pounds raw peanuts, in shells 1/2 pound salt Directions: Butter in a large saucepan over medium heat .
