Turban of sole with langoustines


Turban of sole with langoustines
The turban is made from a rolled fillet of sole poached in fish stock. Each turban is then filled with sautéed langoustines and a tasty cream sauce, flavoured with langoustine stock. This dish takes quite a long time to make because of the langoustine stock, but you will really impress your guests.

Stage 10

You will now have a very flavoursome langoustine stock.

Stage 11 - 20 min.
Turban of sole with langoustines
Prepare the sauce:

Pour the stock into a small saucepan on low heat and reduce by half. There should only be 4 or 5 tablespoonsful of liquid left.

Stage 12 - 5 min.
Turban of sole with langoustines
Then add 200 ml liquid cream, mix well, turn the heat up slightly and bring to the boil.

Add 1 knob butter and leave to reduce on low heat again until thickened.

Check the seasoning and your sauce is ready.

Stage 13 - 5 min.
Turban of sole with langoustines
Prepare the sole turbans:

Bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil.

You can add a richer flavour to the dish by using fish stock, as in the photo, but this is not essential.

Stage 14 - 2 min.
Turban of sole with langoustines
Salt the sole fillets on both sides.

Stage 15 - 4 min.
Turban of sole with langoustines
Role into a hollow tube, like in the photo, and fix with two toothpicks so that they do not unroll during cooking.

Stage 18

...then drain on a wire rack. Remove the toothpicks as this is easier while the fillets are still really hot.

Stage 19 - 5 min.
Turban of sole with langoustines
Pour 1 tablespoon olive oil into a frying pan on medium heat. When hot, sauté the langoustines until nicely browned.

Heat the serving plates, particularly important for this recipe.

Stage 20
Turban of sole with langoustines
Assemble the turbans:

Arrange 2 turbans on each plate.

Stage 21 - 5 min.
Turban of sole with langoustines
Fill with sautéed langoustines and pour the sauce over or around.

Garnish with, for example, a cherry tomato and a parsley leaf.

Serve immediately.
Remarks
The main difficulty in this recipe is having everything ready at the same time: the sauce, sole turbans and langoustines all need to be hot. The trick - and key to success for this dish - is to make the langoustine stock the day before, even several days earlier. It is also important to assemble the turbans on hot plates.
And to drink?
A medium-dry white wine from the Loire, like a Vouvray.
Keeping
Should be eaten immediately once assembled.
