Recipe for the Weekend: Monkfish With Prosciutto, Capers, Parsley and Potatoes

This hearty, flavoursome dish is a great treat for the weekend and because everything is cooked in one pan, all the flavours are absorbed into the potatoes - and washing up is kept to a minimum!

The meaty monkfish paired with the prosciutto and capers help to give the dish some surprising and delicious flavours. Best enjoyed with a chilled bottle of Greco di Tufo.

Ingredients - Serves two

2 x 160g fillets of monkfish

300g boiled and sliced pink fir apple or charlotte potatoes

1 clove of garlic

1 lemon

1 tbsp small capers

75 ml olive oil

½ glass of white wine

Method

In a large heavy based frying pan seal monkfish on one side, turn over, and take out of pan.

Place monkfish back in pan on top of the potatoes with the sliced artichokes, capers, parsley, chopped garlic (½ clove) and cover with prosciutto.

Cook in oven at 200°C for 6-8 mins.
