Well, this dish was inspired by two things. Some time ago I prepared a saffron strudel filled with white polenta, goat cheese and pea puree. Though I should have used spinach instead pea, don't ask me why I haven't, and therefore I didn't post about it. Now it might sound a bit strange, but this saffron strudel inspired me to prepare a saffron sauce, and a strudel filled with polenta. The mangold growing on my window ledge was also ready to be used, so I filled the sole fillets with the leaves and poached in white wine.


Ingredients:
1 shallot
1 teaspoon butter
100 ml white wine
1 tablespoon sherry
100 ml fish stock
1 pinch of saffron threads
50 ml cream


Melt butter, add chopped shallot, stew and pour wine over it. Let it reduce a bit, sieve, add sherry, fish stock, saffron and cook until reduced half. Stir in cream, bring it to boil and season with salt and pepper.
