Fish Friday

Fish Friday is still going strong, but as most weeks it's simply been some variety of fish - cod, haddock, plaice (although the plaice really wasn't very nice and I have since found out it's not really the right time of year for it) dusted with seasoned flour and pan fried, served with salad there didn't seem much point posting.

The last few weeks the mothership has been lovely and has added our fish to her Friday shop.  This week she got us some monk fish.  After weighing up these creatures and deciding the bone needed to come out, then a debate on whether the membrane thingy needed to come off, then soon realising it didn't want to come off, it was then a decision on how to cook it.

Most recipes were to bake in the oven, but the main criteria of tea on a Friday is that it has to be quick.  In the end I wrapped them in prosciuto and pan fried. 

Made a sauce very much based on Sauce Vierge sweated off chopped shallot, baby plum tomaotes, roasted red peppers (the little jar of chopped ones from asda are great if you usually end up with half a jar lurking at the back of the fridge) and capers in oilve oil, then added some white wine, lemon juice and parsley.
