Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
(FILETES DE LENGUADO CON ALMENDRA)
4 tablespoons olive oil
3 slices day-old French-style bread -- 1/4-inch thick
2 medium potatoes -- in 1/8-inch
-- slices
salt
black pepper -- freshly ground
1 1/2 pounds flounder or sole fillets
flour -- for dusting board
1 onion -- chopped
8 blanched almonds
3 garlic cloves -- chopped
3 tablespoons minced parsley
1 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup water

Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet and fry the bread slices until they are golden on both sides. Remove the bread and reserve. Add the potatoes to the remaining hot oil and saute them slowly until they are tender but not brown, turning occasionally. Add salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the potatoes to a large, shallow casserole.

Dust the fish with flour and fry in the same oil as the potatoes (add more oil if necessary) until golden. Arrange the fillets over the potatoes in the casserole. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in the same skillet and saute the onion until it is wilted. Meanwhile, place the almonds, garlic, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, and the fried bread in the bowl of a blender or processor and blend until the mixture is finely chopped. With the motor running, add the sauteed onion and gradually pour in the wine and water. Return to the skillet and cook 15 minutes, adding salt and pepper to taste.

Strain the almond sauce over the fish and potatoes, pushing as much of the mixture as possible through the strainer. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of parsley. Serve with a green salad and a dry white wine such as Marques de Murrieta.
