RECIPE

 


  31. Fillets of Soles Fried.

  Cut off the fins of the sole and dip it in flour, then egg-
and-bread-crumb it, but do not put it in the lard unless
it is quite hot, which you may easily ascertain by throwing a
drop of water in it : if it is hot enough you will hear a
hissing sound ; allow the sole ten minutes to fry, or less,
according to the size ; dish it upon a napkin (a strainer is
better), garnish with parsley, and serve with shrimp sauce.
