Directions

  1. 1

    For the sauce, melt 2 tablespoons of fat, stir in flour and sweat for about 2 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat. Peel and chop 1 onion and celery. Clean the leek, cut into rings and wash.

  2. 2

    Melt 1 tablespoon of fat. Add the vegetables and fry over medium heat for about 5 minutes, turning. Deglaze with Noilly Prat and top up with fish stock. Wash the basil. Season with basil, bay leaf and pepper.

  3. 3

    Simmer for about 20 minutes. Peel the remaining onion and cut into fine cubes. Wash the fish, dab dry and season with salt and pepper. Put 1 tablespoon of oil and onion in an ovenproof dish.

  4. 4

    Roll up the fillets loosely and place them in the tin. Pour on wine and cook in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 125 °C/ convection oven: not suitable/ gas: not suitable) for approx. 20 minutes. In the meantime, clean and trim the mushrooms and, depending on their size, chop them if necessary.

  5. 5

    Wash parsley, shake dry, pluck leaves from the stalks and chop. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the mushrooms and braise for about 5 minutes, turning. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Fold in parsley.

  6. 6

    Pour the stock through a fine sieve and collect it. Measure 400 ml and pour it quickly into the roux while stirring. Bring to the boil and simmer for about 2 minutes while stirring. Season with salt and pepper and refine with crème fraîche.

  7. 7

    Arrange rolls on sauce and mushrooms.
