Monkfish a la marinera

The Fiesta Mayor is one of the events I look forward to most during the summer. It is a week spent on the street surrounded by friends and in which music, theatre and many other activities fill our agenda.

Of course, food plays a fundamental role and I usually cook dishes such as cannelloni, roast chicken or these slices of monkfish a la marinera that I bring you today and that I wanted to prepare in a Le Creuset pot that perhaps many of you do not know.

The truth is that this pot is very versatile. I use it in the same way as a cocotte (it is actually a cocotte ... but in the shape of a pot) and also as a wok. I find it ideal for sautéing vegetables and preparing a healthy dinner in record time. It is also available in bright colours that will look great in your kitchen and on your table ;-)

Ingredients (for 4 people)

8 slices of monkfish
8 shrimps
4 crayfish
300gr clams
1 onion from Figueres
6 pear tomatoes
2 tablespoons flour plus a little more flour for the monkfish
a few sprigs of thyme
1 bay leaf
olive oil
salt

For the minced meat:

2 bread peaks
6 pine nuts
2 hazelnuts
2 almonds
a few strands of saffron

For the broth:

2.5 liters of water
1 kg of white fish bones
1 leek
1 onion
a few sprigs of parsley
200 ml white wine
1 splash of olive oil

Preparation

Preparation of the broth:

1. Put all the ingredients in a pot and put it on the fire. Do not fill it to the brim because it may overflow when it boils.
2. When the broth starts to boil, a foam will form. Remove it, as these are impurities that we do not want to preserve. You can use a skimmer or a spoon to help you.
3. Allow the broth to simmer for a total of 30 minutes. Once this time has passed, allow it to cool and strain it .

Preparation of monkfish a la marinera:

1. A couple of hours before you start cooking, put the clams in a bowl and cover them with water and a handful of salt to purge them and release any grit they may have. I recommend that you do this step every time you cook clams or cockles.
2. Grate the onion and tomato separately and set aside. Season the monkfish slices with salt and pepper and coat them in flour.
3. Add a good splash of olive oil to the pot and sauté the prawns and crayfish. One minute on each side will be enough. Set aside.

4. Briefly fry the monkfish slices on both sides in the same oil. Brown them for a minute on each side and set aside. Don't overcook them or the monkfish will be dry.
5. If you see that there is too much oil in the pot, remove some and fry the onion over a medium heat with a pinch of salt. When it is transparent, add the tomato, bay leaf and thyme and let it fry until all the liquid evaporates and you have a concentrated, dark sauce. This is the secret to making a delicious dish, so be patient and take your time preparing it.
6. Add two tablespoons of flour to the pot and stir for one minute.
7. Add a litre of fish stock and stir well. Allow to simmer for 15 minutes. You will see that the sauce will thicken and acquire a perfect texture for dipping bread.
8. Once the sauce has reduced, crush the ingredients in the mortar and pour it into the pot and stir. Also add the monkfish, shrimp, crayfish and clams. Adjust the salt if you think it is necessary. Let everything cook for 10 minutes on a low heat.

Serve immediately, accompanied by a nice piece of bread to dip in the sauce. Does this dish make a Fiesta Mayor?

Enjoy your meal!
