ingredients - info
monkfish
fennel
leek
onion
butter
salt & pepper
cream
vegetable stock
First make the fennel puree: chop a fennel into large pieces,
leek into rings and onion into wedges. Stew the fennel and the
leek for 6 minutes in the microwave oven, covered, without
water. It can also be done in the steam oven.
Meanwhile, fry the onion in butter. Add the fennel and leeks
and let the vegetables simmer for a few minutes. Season with
pepper and salt.
Then add a little cream and as much vegetable stock. Allow to
reduce. Remove from the heat and puree. Now add fresh
tarragon leaves (do not let them cook along).
Fry the monkfish for a few minutes in olive oil in a pan with
some salt and pepper. Put the fish in an oven dish and put it in
a preheated oven at 185°C for another 8 to 10 minutes. Keep
covered and warm.

We are not going to be silly about it. Eastern Scheldt
lobster is simply the tastiest lobster. Full stop. I cannot
explain or prove why. It's a personal experience and you
have to taste it for yourself.
The season runs from March to July. Outside this period,
Eastern Scheldt lobster may still be offered in restaurants
as long as stocks last in their homaria.
