Turn sole on its side, and form a circle, skin side in, with the fillets. Secure with a toothpick. Place on a lightly greased non-stick baking tray. Chill till needed. Make the sauce: Combine the vegetable stock, ginger and lemon-grass. Reduce by half. Add in heavy cream and butter. Season with salt and pepper. Strain sauce. Keep hot in a small saucepan. Make the souffle: Combine sole fillet, egg yolk, whole egg, cream, salt and pepper. Puree till smooth. Whip egg whites till stiff peaks form. Fold egg whites into puree. Layer crab meat and souffle mix into sole circles, starting with the crab. Use half an oz of crabmeat total per sole fillet. Squeeze lemon juice over crab during layering. Place souffles in a preheated 375 degree oven for 7 min. Souffle should be golden. Assemble the dish: Using a spatula, carefully remove the souffle to a serving plate. Spoon sauce around edge of plate. Garnish each plate with three grapefruit segments and sprigs of chervil. Yield: 4 servings

SEAFOOD STUFFED DOVER SOLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Puree (raw in a food processor) shrimp, lobster, and crab with parsley, basil, shallots, lemon, wine, salt and pepper to make a puree. Some texture is nice. Do not over puree. Lay fillets of sole on a flat surface and spread puree evenly across the entire length. Place a single shrimp at one end of the fillet, with the tail shell facing away from the filet and toward what will be the top of the roll. Roll fillet, secure with a toothpick, and place in greased baking dish so that the roll is on its side and the shrimp tail is facing upward.
• Add shallot, lemon, wine, and dill to baking dish. Brush fillets lightly with remaining butter, place dish in oven, and bake 20 to 25 minutes.

LEMON SOLE WITH CRAB & TARRAGON BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a small bowl, mash the butter with the tarragon, crabmeat and zest, and season. Make a few deep slashes across the fillets on both sides of the sole, then place the fish, dark-skin up, in a large roasting tin. Season, then stuff the crab butter into the cuts, spreading any remaining butter on top. Lay a few lemon slices over the fish, then pour over the wine.
• Bake for 15-20 mins, depending on the size of the fish - the flesh should flake away easily from the bone when gently pushed with a knife.
• Carefully remove the fish from the tin, place on a warm plate or platter and cover with foil while you make the sauce. Set the tin over a low heat, add 2 tbsp water and bring to the boil. Let the sauce bubble for a few mins, then stir in the capers and cream. Pour the sauce over the fish and serve with steamed potatoes and a green salad.
