Normandy Sole
Preparation:
Cook the heads and the bones of the soles for 15 minutes with cider, salt and pepper, then filter. Reserve.
This is the fish's aroma.
Cut the leeks and the carrot in small pieces (about 1/2 inch).
Mince shallots and put them in a high-sided frying pan with butter.
Add carrot and leeks, brown gently for 2 minutes.
Add the fish's aroma, then the double cream (heavy cream), gently cook for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, put the cleaned mussels in a large saucepan over a high heat for 8 minutes.
Shake well to make sure all the mussels are opened.
Do not keep closed mussels, only keep the opened mussels.
Let's cool for a few minutes, then take out the mussels from their shells.
Filter the juice and pour it in a large saucepan.
Roll the sole's fillets, use a wooden pike to maintain them.
Add the soles in the saucepan with mussels, and pinced parsley.
Cover then, and simmer for 10 minutes.
