Monkfish
bake.
I
adapted this recipe from one that I saw Antonio Carluccio
make (he is one of my big influences). The potatoes
go kind of sticky and are so moreish it's unreal.
You
need - for 2-3 as a main course:
2 monkfish tails
5/6 large potatoes
2 large tomatoes
olive oil
4 bay leaves
handful basil
parmesan, grated
salt and pepper.
Peel
and slice the potatoes as thinly as you can. Layer
half of them in an oven proof dish and pour over a little
olive oil, add half the basil and some black pepper.
Remove
the monkfish fillets from the tail bone, and cut into
bitesize chunks or strips.
Arrange
the monkfish on top of the potatoes, forming a second layer.
On top of the monkfish sprinkle on about a handful of
the parmesan. Put the other half of the potatoes on
top of that in the same way as the first half creating
a kind of potato and monkfish sandwich.
Push the bay leaves amongst the potatoes and sprinkle
over about 1 tbsp of sea salt.
Slice the tomatoes in the same way as the potatoes and
layer them on top. Add the remaining basil and top with
a couple of handfuls of the parmesan.
Finally lug on loads of olive oil, or 'abundant oil'
as Antonio says, and cook in a pre-heated oven at 200°c
for about 35 mins. Excellente!
