Stuffed Flounder Fillets with Sweet Red Pepper Sauce
recipe
Ingredients
4 whole or 8 halves flounder fillets,
skinned
2 tablespoons dry white wine
Sweet Red Pepper Sauce
4 red peppers, de-seeded and chopped
2 medium onions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
For the
stuffing
2 tablespoons spring onions, finely
chopped
2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 teaspoons lemon rind, finely grated
1 small egg, beaten, to bind
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup (2 oz) 60 g breadcrumbs
Wash the flounder fillets, pat dry with kitchen paper and prepare
them for rolling. Now make the sauce. Place the chopped peppers in a
saucepan with the onions, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil. Cook
very gently over a low heat for about 1 hour - the peppers will make
quite a bit of their own juicy liquid. Process the mixture in a
blender until smooth, then set aside. Combine the stuffing
ingredients to make a moist mixture and spread some of this along
each fillet, remembering that the side which formerly had the skin
on must be on the outside of the roll so that it will contract and
keep its shape when cooked. Heat the grill. Remove the rack from the
grill pan and arrange the stuffed rolls on the base of the pan. Add
the white wine. Grill under a medium heat for 3 or 4 minutes, then,
using a spatula, carefully turn the rolls over and grill for a
further 3 or 4 minutes, or until cooked. Transfer the rolls to a
warm serving platter, gently re heat the sauce, adding the wine and
cooking juices from the grill pan. Pour this around, not over, the
flounder rolls and serve immediately.
