Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 tablespoons olive oil
1 3/4 cups sliced leeks (white and pale green parts only; from 2 medium)
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
1 bay leaf
1 cup canned vegetable broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice
4 5- to 6-ounce sole fillets
All purpose flour

Steps:

  • Heat 3 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks, garlic, thyme, and bay leaf. Sauté until leeks are tender, about 5 minutes. Add vegetable broth and wine; boil 5 minutes. Add tomatoes with juices. Boil until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Fold each fillet in half; secure with toothpick. Dust outside of fish with flour. Heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil in another large skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish and sauté until golden and just opaque in center, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer fish to plates; remove toothpicks. Top fish with sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sole fillets. Look for fillets that are firm and have a light pink color. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a slimy texture.
  • Cook the sole gently. Sole is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it gently to prevent it from becoming tough. Steaming is a great way to cook sole, as it allows the fish to cook evenly without drying out.
  • Use fresh, flavorful ingredients. The flavor of the steamed sole will be greatly enhanced by the ingredients you use in the sauce. Use ripe tomatoes, fresh leeks, and a good quality white wine.
  • Don't overcook the sauce. The sauce should be cooked just until the tomatoes are softened and the leeks are tender. Overcooking the sauce will make it lose its flavor.
  • Serve the sole immediately. Steamed sole is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the fish is hot and flaky and the sauce is still flavorful.

Conclusion:

Steamed Sole with Tomato Leek Sauce is a light, flavorful, and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sole is cooked gently to perfection, and the sauce is packed with flavor. This dish is sure to please even the most discerning palate. Here's a tip: if you don't have a steamer basket, you can use a colander placed over a pot of boiling water. Just make sure the colander is large enough so that the fish doesn't touch the water.
