monk fish with sea
lavender and
Eastern Scheldt
lobster
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.
