🦋 Dinner

Ellen came up with a very tasty recipe this evening:

One Pot Wonder: Baked Monkfish and Italian Sausage

adapted from Real Simple. Serves 3.

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 sausages, cut into small chunks
• 1 lb. Yukon gold potatoes, sliced thin
• 1 leek, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise, rinsed, and thinly sliced into half-moons
• ½ cup low-salt chicken broth
• pinch of crumbled saffron threads
• kosher salt
• black pepper
• ¾ lb. monkfish fillet
• chopped parsley for garnish

Heat oven to 400° F.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and brown on both sides. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Add the leeks, broth, saffron, pinch of salt, a couple of grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil.

Rinse the monkfish, pat dry, season with salt and pepper. Place on top of potatoes and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Transfer pan to oven and bake until the fish is cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. If potatoes are not ready, take out fish and wrap in foil, until the rest is done. Serve with parsley on top.

The parsley (along with a little bit of oregano) was the first use our new herb garden has seen.
