Roulades of flounder stuffed

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
6 ounces Fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded, or fresh white cultivated mushrooms, finely chopped
2 pounds Fresh spinach, stemmed and washed thoroughly
4 7 ounce flounder or sole fillets, the thicker end of each flattened slightly between wax paper
2 Whole or four halves roasted red pepper, freshly roasted or from a jar
Salt and pepper
2 cups Chicken stock, heated
1 cup White wine
1 cup Hot water
¼ cup Sherry vinegar
¼ cup Red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
2 teaspoons Minced shallot
½ cup Vegetable oil
½ cup Olive oil
3 tablespoons Minced fresh herbs (chives, tarragon, parsley and/or chervil)

Directions

In a large skillet melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and cook the mushrooms, seasoned with salt and pepper, over moderate heat, stirring, until the liquid evaporates. Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl and allow to cool. Melt another 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet and cook the spinach with salt and pepper, over moderately high heat, stirring, until wilted.

Transfer the spinach to a small colander to drain and cool.

Arrange the fillets, skinned sides up on a work surface and season them with salt and pepper. Cover each fillet with ¼ of the cooked spinach, arrange a half roasted red pepper on each fillet and divide the mushrooms among the fillets. Beginning with the narrow (tail) end of each fillet, roll up the fillets jelly-roll fashion to enclose the filling. Cut each rolled fillet crosswise into thirds and secure each slice with a wooden toothpick.

Arrange the roulades cut sides up in a buttered deep skillet just large enough to hold them in one layer. Add the stock, wine and water to the skillet and poach the roulades, covered, at a bare simmer for 5 to 6 minutes, or until they just begin to flake when tested with a fork.

Transfer the roulades to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

In a bowl whisk together the vinegars, mustard, the shallot, and salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in the oils, in a stream, until dressing emulsifies. Add the fresh herbs. Transfer the vinaigrette to a saucepan and gently heat, swirling the pan, until just warm.

Arrange the roulades on 4 dinner plates and spoon the warmed vinaigrette around the roulades.

Yield: 4 servings
