I was in the mood for beef, Fern was in the mood for anything but. So I settled on nice fresh fillets of sole and fresh green beans. I got my potatoes going for the mash and put the carrots on to start steaming. The sole was dredged in a mixture of:
2 tbsp flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp paprika
and fried in plenty of oil. I cut the ends off the beans and steamed them whole with the carrots. Just before they were done I drained the water, turned the burner to low and put the veggies back in with butter, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. While they were finishing I made a condiment.
Tartar Sauce
3 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp sweet pickle relish
juice of 1/4 lemon
a good pinch of salt
Mix and slop on the fish. I also put sour cream on my mashed potatoes with artificial bacon bits. I drizzled lemon juice over the fish after plating. It was every bit as good as it looks, unless you're a cardiologist!
