mainly forgotten. The miller's wife would have had access to plenty of
flour to coat her Sole before cooking and was probably a good plain
cook with few airs and graces.

new and exciting cuisines from all over the World a lot of old rustic
style cooking is being lost forever:

Season the
flour with plenty of salt and black pepper and coat the Sole fillets
well making sure to shake off any excess flour.
Heat
the oil and butter together
in a large non stick fry pan
(the oil will stop the butter from burning) and add the fish fillets.
Cook gently on both sides for about ten minutes
(depending on the the thickness of the fillets), until cooked and
golden.
Remove the fish from the pan and keep it
warm.
Now add the garlic to the pan and cook (gently)
for about two minutes.
Add the parsley and stir.
Finally - whisk in the lemon juice - check for
seasoning and you're ready to serve.
Arrange the fish fillets on four plates and
spoon over the sauce.
Finish with a final sprinkling of parsley.
We bought this non-carcinogenic Le Creuset fry pan 3 years ago because
we were fed up with crumbling dangerous teflon on past purchases! We
have used it regularily on the hob and in the oven and it is still
perfect and non stick. Well worth the investment.
C'est Magnifique!
