Baked Lemon Sole

Serves six
675g (1lb 8oz) lemon sole fillets, skin removed
juice of 1 lemon
150-175ml (5˝-6fl oz) double cream
75g (2ľoz) freshly grated Parmesan

Place the sole in a large ovenproof dish (or two medium-sized dishes). The sole fillets should lie in a single layer, not on top of each other.
Season and squeeze on the lemon. Spoon about 2 tbsp double cream over each portion then sprinkle the Parmesan on evenly. It might seem like a small amount but this is a very rich dish.
Heat the grill and put the fish under it (you might have to do this in two batches, depending on the size of your grill). Cook for four to six minutes – thin pieces of sole will be ready in four minutes, while thicker ones may take six. The top should be golden and bubbling.
Serve immediately with little boiled waxy potatoes and green beans. :mmmm::mmmm::mmmm::mmmm::mmmm::mmmm:

Sounds like a nice recipe. Is sole a regional fish in your area?
I'll ask our seafood department if they have it "next time I shop".
Will try it, for sure.

Sole is a flat fish. It is a real nice flavour. I have had it it at
Caine Garden a few years back. Very nice indeed!
BUT, mine is better ;)
I could not get fresh today so bought frozen instead. Just as good.

Anyone know a good recipe for mince & potatoes? (A REAL one, not just google, I could do that-LOL)

Haven't had it in years, my Scottish neighbor made it, the only thing I remember is an Oxy (??) cube and chop meat.

It is Oxo cube, but you can use any stock cube. I am going out soon, but will post a recipe for,you later.

Hi Patty 55,
We are home now, and did enjoy our lemon sole!!

Now, mince& onions etc..

Take one pound of good lean 'ground beef' fillet if possible, and fat free.
Brown in a good hot skillet.
In a second pan, brown some sweet onions, your choice how much.
Drain of any fat that may be in the pan.
Make up a pint of good beef stock ( oxo and water, or oxo and vegatble water)
Add this to the mince and onions.
Cook for about 15 minutes
Mix 2 or 3 t spoons of cornflour, to make a nice paste, add a spoonful of stock to this until smooth, then carefully add and mix in to the mince and onion mix.
I then add baby garden peas and diced carrots, simmer until cooked through, about 30 minutes.
We eat with mashed potatoes.
It is what we call nursery food, good, wholesome and tasty.
So,simple. If you want to,be adventurous, add a can of Heinz baked beans, yummy!

P.S.
I left mine in the oven a little longer this evening, the sauce was amazing!!!!

Although the chicken turned out exactly like that at Carrabba's, some recipes are best left to the experts. They make it look so easy. I found that this recipe dirtied every pot in the kitchen. Next time I will go to the restaurant and order it.

You can bread it and fry it like flounder with fries and slaw, doesn't get easier than that.

I don't do tilapia but I make this thing with swordfish. You take Rotel tomatoes add equal amount of water, capers and cook it till it's done in the big deep skillet. When the tomatoes are cooked place the tilapia on top, cover it and let it cook for just a few minutes. DO NOT STIR, the fish will fall apart. Serve it over rice.

I like spicy, I usually add cayenne and if I have it some gumbo file to the Rotel.

There are possibly hundreds of different types of curry. It's a originated in India of course, but it's also very popular in Thailand, Japan and many other Asian countries. It's also very popular in Great Britain owing to the days when India was a British colony.

You saute some chicken with onions, garlic and peppers. then you add some chicken broth and coconut milk to which you add some curry powder along with a few other spices and jalapenos. It simmers from a while and then I toos in some warmed up green beans.

Thanks

I read a bunch of recipes and kind of summarized them.


Basically all say to wilt the cabbage first. I added a can of cream of mushroom soup, cut up ham, some nutmeg and pepper, there is salt in the soup and salt in the ham, and a little milk and about a cup of grated cheddar.


I am going to bake it for tonight, so wait until we taste it to see if you should make it too..


Those two are so unpicky, but I am picky. I will tell you the truth. It was good the last time but I don't remember exactly how I made it.

Basically what your looking for is Shepherds Pie, or a basic meat pie with a crust. You can find meat pies like the one you had on line or there is a Brit Food Booth at the Marion Market. Also just google British Food and you can get many, many items, including meat pies.

By the way the person who recommended Heinz Beans or Heinz baked Beans. The Heinz Baked Beans available in the British Section of ethic food aisle are different then what you are used to, and probably the one that the person is suggesting.

I'll have to check out the British food booth next time I go to the Marion market. I love sheppards pie. I like baked beans too but the only place that makes them close to how I make mine is Sonny's bbq.

I have some frozen tilapia, anyone have a really good, easy recipe?

Very quick and very easy:
Defrosted package of creamed spinach
Defrosted tilapia
Italian bread crumbs
butter or I use butter Pam spray
Shallow baking pan sprayed with Pam. Spread the spinach in the shallow pan (I use a Corning pie pan that can be used under the broiler). Lay the tilapia over it, season with salt and pepper if desired and spray with Pam or drizzle with some melted butter. Sprinkle with Italian bread crumbs and drizzle with a small amount of melted butter or spray again (I use Pam). Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily, is transparent/white and spinach is hot. Very easy and if you like spinach, its a great all in one meal. You could serve with another veg, a salad or a starch with it.

I can buy it in any supermarket here in England, fresh or frozen. Frozen fish cooks best with this recipe. If you can not get lemon sole, I think any white fish with a delicate flavour would do.

You should be able to make this recipe with any white fish. Try it with Tilapia which is a lot less $$ than sole.
