How to make Monkfish on a bed of shellfish:
- Cut the carrots, onions, leeks, parsley and garlic into very thin slices.
- Next, put a clay pot on the fire, pouring in the olive oil, and once it is hot, add the garlic and the bay leaf.
- When they are golden, add the vegetables and sauté over low heat.
- After eight minutes, add the small glass of white wine and the brother that the clams and mussels will have released, having previously steamed them.
- Let boil for 8 or 10 minutes and add salt to taste. To thicken the willow add the cornstarch until you get the desired thickness.
- Next, pass it through the turmoil and then through a Chinese strainer in order to obtain a fine sauce.
- After storing the sauce in a container or in the same casserole, proceed to pass the monkfish and the prawns on the griddle.
- For the presentation of the dish we will preferably use a tray on which we will pour the prepared sauce, which we have reserved.
- On this we will have the monkfish slices and the prawns in the center. Bordering the tray we will place the mussels and clams.
