How to cook Pan Fried SOLE Meunière! | Bart van Olphen

My grandmother lived to be a hundred. I loved her dearly and she was a wonderful cook. From the age of six I would often go out with her to eat at Van der Toren restaurant in Scheveningen. These days it attracts a lot of tourists but Grandma liked it there because she said they made her favourite dish – fried sole – better than anywhere else. Sole à la meunière is its classic French name, meaning ‘cooked in the style of the miller’, as the fish is first lightly coated in flour to give it a crunchy crust. Sole à la meunière is fried in butter, which adds a delicious flavour, and the butter makes a sauce. Definitely one of my favourites.. enjoy!

You can find the recipe here: coming soon

See you next Fishy Friday!

I think it was the 1st meal Julia Child ate when she 1st went to France -- it made her fall in love w/ French food.

In Dutch we would say “super lekker”. Dat is inderdaad het eerste wat in mij opkwam. Lekker hoor.

Werk zelf in een visrestaurant in Lunteren (vlakbij Arnhem) en ben de laatste tijd erg druk met het maken van zee- en sliptongen. Blijft gewoon heerlijk, natuurlijk op de klassieke manier! Top recept

This does look easier than your previous version with Alex (French guy cooking.) No need to clarify butter in this version, I'll give it a try.
