Ingredients
- For the monkfish
- 600 grams Monkfish
- salt
- peppers
- 2 sprigs thyme
- 3 Tbsps olive oil
- 2 slices ham (raw, smoked, about 80 grams) (approximately 3 ounces)
- For the vegetables
- 400 grams Bell pepper (red, green and orange)
- 200 grams yellow or red tomatoes
- 60 grams scallions
- 2 Tbsps olive oil
- 100 milliliters vegetable stock
- 1 Tbsp finely chopped Fresh herbs (parsley and thyme)
- For the sauce
- 20 grams shallots
- 100 milliliters white wine
- 400 milliliters fish stock
- 250 milliliters Whipped cream
- 3 Tbsps finely chopped Fresh herbs (parsley and dill)
- salt
- peppers
- 1 splash lemon juice
Preparation steps
For the sauce: Peel the shallots and slice. In a saucepan, bring the white wine and shallots to a boil. Add the fish stock and simmer over medium heat until reduced to 1/3 the original volume. Stir in the cream and herbs and simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until creamy. Purée and season with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
For the vegetables: Cut the peppers into quarters, remove stems, seeds and pith and cut the flesh into 1-1.5 cm (approximately 1/3-1/2 inch) diamonds. Rinse the tomatoes, cut into quarters, remove the stems and seeds and cut the flesh into diamonds. Trim the scallions and thinly slice. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and sauté the onions until translucent. Add the peppers and sauté briefly. Season with salt and pepper. Add the stock and simmer for 6-8 minutes. Add the tomatoes and herbs and simmer for another 2 minutes.
For the monkfish: Cut the fish into 8 cut equal pieces, season with salt and pepper and sauté in the olive oil with the thyme. Wrap each medallion with a slice of ham and bake for about 6 minutes in a preheated oven at 140°C (approximately 275°F).
Serve the monkfish medallions with the vegetables and sauce on serving plates.
