- ½ kilo of tomato crushed or
- 125 gr. fried tomato
- 1 glass of white wine 150ml.
- 3 slices of fried bread
- 1 glass of broth (with monkfish bones)
- 3 tablespoons of flour
- Oil and salt
Preparation
- To prepare this monkfish dish with prawns in sauce, we will start by preparing a broth with the monkfish bones and the prawn heads. Put a little oil in a saucepan, sauté the prawn heads, add the monkfish bones and cover with water. Add a little salt, let it cook for about 20 minutes after it starts to boil. We turn off and reserve.
- We put a casserole with a little oil over high heat, we pass the prawns on both sides. We take out and reserve.
- We salt the monkfish, pass it through flour and brown it in the same pan with a little more oil. We take out and reserve. We sauté the cuttlefish cut into pieces and we also sauté it and take it out.
- We prepare the sauce, chop the onion and add it to the same pan where we have browned the fish, we can add a little more oil if necessary. We brown it a little and add the tomato, let it cook, I put the bread on one side to toast it and leave it with the sauce to mix.
- When we see that the sauce is, we add a little broth and grind it.
- Once it is crushed we add the white wine. We let the alcohol reduce for a couple of minutes.
- Add the cuttlefish, strain the broth and add 1-2 glasses of broth, let it cook for 10 minutes. Cuttlefish need a little more cooking.
- We add the monkfish to the casserole. We leave it for about 8-10 minutes. We taste the sauce for salt.
- When we see that the monkfish is to our liking, we put the prawns on top, turn off and cover the casserole and they finish cooking.
- And our monkfish casserole in sauce with prawns in sauce is ready.
