BRAISED MONK FISH PROVENCAL
 (POOR MANS LOBSTER)

For four people

  • 6-8 ounces monk fish per person
  • 1 medium onion
  • 8-roma tomatoes
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 stick of celery chopped
  • 1 green pepper chopped
  • 1 sprig of oregano stripped
  • 1 sprig of thyme stripped
  • 1 teaspoon of sugar
  • salt and coarse pepper to taste (sub jalapeno to cajun it)

    Procedure;

  • Sauté all ingredients in 2 ounces of olive oil, except for the tomatoes, until translucent, about 5 minutes, in a large enough pot depending on how many servings you are creating
  • Add the tomatoes and simmer for another 5 minutes
  • Add monk fish and cover pot. cook until fish flakes to the touch of a fork. Do not over cook, this fish can get tough. Both recipes go well with rice pilaf or buttered pasta.

    Good eating, better fishing and remember if you have a sweetie cooking, it's more fun if you do it together.
