RECIPE

 


  29. Fillets of Soles a l'Orlie.

  Fillet two soles, and cut them in halves, lengthwise ; then
 lay them in a basin with an onion cut in slices, a little
parsley, thyme, bay-leaf, two wine-glasses of vinegar, and a
little pepper and salt ; let them remain thus two hours, then
dry them in a cloth ; flour, egg, and bread-crumb them, and
fry in oil ; dish them round without a napkin ; then put
four tablespoonfuls of tomato sauce in a stew-pan with one of
Harvey sauce and two of good stock ; boil three minutes ;
finish with a little sugar, and pour it in a dish, but not over
the fish. This sauce requires to be rather thin.
  I have never been able to discover the meaning of
" Orli," " Orlie," or " Orly." the great French lexicographer
Littre, is wholly silent on the subject. Perhaps "Orli" or
" Orly " was a French grand seigneur.
