Note: Tessa Kiros recipe also mention some basil leaves and grated parmesan cheese that I skip because I didnt had any in my fridge, but Im quite sure it would be an awesome addition.
-
2
Heat enough oil and a garlic clove in a nonstick deep frying pan that will hold the sole bundles later on.
-
3
Add the tomatoes and tomato paste, the herbes de provence and season with salt.
-
4
Simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes, or until everything has melted together into a sauce.
-
5
If the sauce becomes too dry, you can add some water or even some white wine.
-
6
In another pan or saucepan, heat more olive oil and add the other garlic clove.
-
7
Add the spinach and the nutmeg.
-
8
Saute briefly for a few minutes just to allow the leaves to wilt.
-
9
Remove from heat, season.
-
10
Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes.

(If youre in a hurry, you can also do this step on the microwave.)

12
To form the bundles:
-
13
On a flat surface, lay the fish fillets (former skin side down).
-
14
Put enough spinach mixture onto the tapered end of each fillet and roll up the fish compactly around the spinach mixture.
-
15
Secure with toothpicks (very important step!).
-
16
Pass the fish bundles in the flour of your choice to coat lightly.
-
17
In a pan, heat a bit more olive oil and seal the bundles on high heat just to create a crust.
-
18
Transfer to the pan with the tomato sauce ( in a single layer).
-
19
Sprinkle with pepper.
-
20
Check seasoning.
-
21
Cover the pan with a lid and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes or just until the inside of the fish is cooked.
-
22
Serve hot with some steamed rice or an autumn root vegetable gratin as I did.
