FILLETS OF SOLE À LA VÉNITIENNE—I

Put the prepared fillets into a buttered pan with salt, pepper, nutmeg, a chopped onion, and half a cupful of white wine. Cover and cook for ten minutes. Add two cupfuls of stock and thicken with a tablespoonful each of butter and flour cooked together. Take from the fire, add the yolks of four eggs beaten with the juice of half a lemon, and two tablespoonfuls of butter. Pour the sauce over the fish, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve.
