the dish, shaping it like a dome; coat it with Joinville sauce, and surround it with the fillets of sole, which should slightly overlap one another and have their tails uppermost.

With this method of dishing, the garnish alone is coated with sauce, the fillets thus forming a white, encircling border. 878—FILETS DE SOLES JUDIC Fold, and poach the fillets in butter and lemon juice. Arrange them in an oval round a dish, laying each upon a nice little braised and trimmed half lettuce, and place upon each fillet a quenelle of sole _mousseline_-forcemeat in the shape of a flattened oval, poached at the time of dishing up. Coat with Mornay sauce and glaze quickly. When taking the dish out of the oven, encircle the fillets of sole with a thread of buttered meat-glaze. 879—FILETS DE SOLES A LA HONGROISE Fry in butter, without colouration, one small tablespoonful of chopped onion seasoned with a very little paprika; moisten with three tablespoonfuls of white wine and one-sixth pint of fish _fumet_; add two small peeled, pressed, and roughly-chopped tomatoes, and set to cook for seven or eight minutes. Fold the fillets of sole; lay them on a buttered dish; pour the above preparation thereon, and poach them. Arrange them in a circle on a dish; reduce their cooking-liquor to a stiff consistence; add a few tablespoonfuls of cream and a few drops of lemon juice, and coat the fillets with this sauce. 880—FILETS DE SOLES LADY EGMONT Fold the fillets, and poach them in a few tablespoonfuls of excellent fish _fumet_. Also for every four fillets (_i.e._, per sole) finely mince one oz. of well-cleaned mushrooms, and cook them quickly in butter, lemon juice, a little salt, and pepper. This done, add the cooking-liquor to the fish _fumet_, and keep the cooked minced mushrooms hot. Reduce the combined cooking-liquor and fish _fumet_ to half; add thereto one oz. of butter and two tablespoonfuls of cream; and to the resulting sauce
