Monkfish on wild garlic cheese sauce
This dish is easy to prepare and offers a perfect combination of juicy monkfish and a creamy, spicy sauce. It is the perfect choice for those who prefer a healthy, low-carb diet without sacrificing taste and enjoyment. Monkfish or Coda di Rospo is found not only in the North Atlantic but also in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. Despite - or perhaps even because of - its unflattering appearance, it is an integral part of gourmet cuisine. As a cartilaginous fish, it is practically boneless and its firm, white meat can be prepared in a variety of ways - wrapped in bacon, cooked or in soup. What is available with monkfish is mainly the tail, which can be made into medallions or fillets.
