Monkfish is a firm fish with a delicate flavour which works perfectly with this Thai style marinade. A wonderful infusion of flavours and so simple it can be enjoyed any night of the week.
Ingredients
500g -750g (1-1.5 lbs) monkfish tails, skinned
1 red onion, quartered and layers separated
8 mushrooms
1 courgette, cut into 8 pieces
1 yellow pepper, deseed and cut into chunks
4 cherry tomatoes
Vegetable oil, for brushing
Watercress or flat leaf parsley, to garnish
MARINADE
Grated rind and juice of 2 limes
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 tbsp finely sliced fresh root ginger
2 fresh chillies, red or green or 1 of each, deseeded and finely chopped
2 lemon grass stalks, finely chopped
1 glass of red wine
2 tbsp sesame oil
freshly ground black pepper
Method
Combine the ingredients for the marinade in a large bowl. Cut the fish into large cubes and add to the marinade with the onion, mushrooms and courgette. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the flavours to blend.
Brush the rack of a grill pan lightly with oil to prevent the kebabs from sticking. Thread 4 skewers with the chunks of fish, mushrooms, courgette and onion alternately with a tomato in the middle. Brush with a little oil and grill under a preheated hot grill for about 10 minutes, turning at intervals. Garnish with watercress or flat leaf parsley.
