Description
This elegant dish features tender sole fillets rolled around a savory filling of sautéed prawns and mushrooms. The fish is gently poached in white wine to retain its delicate flavor and moisture. It is then served with a luxurious, thickened cream sauce tempered with egg for a silky smooth finish.

-
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
-
Add the chopped prawns and mushrooms, cooking gently for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and prawns are pink.
-
Stir in the dried breadcrumbs, dill weed, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
-
Remove the filling from heat and let it cool slightly.
-
Lay the sole fillets flat on a clean surface. Spoon a portion of the prawn mixture onto each fillet and roll them up tightly.
-
Secure each roll with a wooden cocktail stick.
-
Place the rolled fillets in a large, shallow pan just large enough to hold them in a single layer.
-
Pour the white wine, water, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt over the fish.
-
Bring the liquid to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to low.
-
Cover the pan and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
-
Carefully remove the fish rolls to a warm plate and discard the cocktail sticks. Keep the fish warm.
-
In a small bowl, blend the corn flour with the cream to form a smooth paste.
-
Stir the corn flour and cream mixture gradually into the hot poaching liquid in the pan.
-
Cook the sauce, stirring constantly, until it comes to a boil and thickens.
-
Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool slightly for a minute.
-
Lightly beat the egg in a small bowl. Stir a small amount of the hot sauce into the egg to temper it.
-
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan, stirring continuously.
-
Return the sauce to very low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly. Do not let it boil, or the sauce may curdle.
-
Spoon some of the sauce over the fish rolls and serve the remainder on the side.
