(Sogliola con Basilico e Mandorle)
Category: Fillets and Steaks
Andrea Felluga of the Livio Felluga winery took my husband and me under his wing and showed us around his region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. One memorable town we visited was Grado, on the Adriatic coast. Situated on an island, Grado was a refuge for Roman citizens of nearby Aquileia fleeing the onslaught of Attila the Hun in the fifth century. Today, it is a beach resort, though few non-Italians seem to visit, instead flocking to nearby Venice. We ate sole prepared this way at Restaurant Colussi, a lively restaurant serving typical regional food.
4 large sole, flounder filets, or other thin fillets (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup sliced almonds or pine nuts
1 Place a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a small baking dish.
2 Cut the sole fillets in half lengthwise. Place the fillets skinned-side up on a flat surface and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with half the basil, butter, and lemon juice. Starting at the wider end, roll up the pieces of fish. Place the rolls seamside down in the baking dish. Drizzle with the remaining lemon juice and butter. Scatter the remaining basil and the nuts over the top.
3 Bake the fish 15 to 20 minutes, or until it is just opaque when cut in the thickest part. Serve hot.
