A couple of months ago I found this monk fish recipe on the website of an Italian magazine, “Donna Moderna”. I made it and really liked it so I am posting it here in English.
Ingredients
- 600 g of monkfish filet
- 400 g of cherry tomatoes
- 200 g of peppers
- basil
- saffron
- flour
- white whine
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt
Dust the fish with flour. Clean the peppers and discard the seeds. Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut the largest one in half. Heat some olive oil in a pan and brown the fish on all sides. Set the brown fish aside.
Add some more oil in the same pan, add the tomatoes and the peppers. Stir fry a minute and add some white wine, the saffron and a handful of basil leaves. Mix and cook for 10 minutes.
Add the monk fish, salt, and cover the pan. Cook for other 20 minutes, adding a bit of water if it gets too dry. Serve with more fresh basil.
