  4. Bring to a boil, cover and bake for 25 minutes or until rice is al dente.
  5. In the meantime, pat sole fillets dry and lightly season with salt. Sprinkle 5 to 10 mL (1 to 2 tsp.) of Parmesan on one side of each fillet and roll. Secure with a toothpick.

CHEF’S SECRET

Chop vegetables by pulsing them in a food processor. Add 500 mL (2 cups) of baby spinach to the rice at the end of cooking, just before adding rolled fillets.
Up the taste with more mustard and some hot pepper.
