Ingredients

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, peeled, an "x" cut into the root end, and stuck with 2 whole cloves
15 pearl onions, peeled and an "x" cut into the root end
1 bay leaf
2 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
1 cup dry red wine
1 teaspoon tomato sauce
1 red bell pepper, roasted, peeled, cored, and pureed
1 cup white wine
Salt and pepper
2 1/2 pounds skinless monkfish fillet, cut into 3 to 4-inch cubes
1/2 bunch parsley, leaves finely chopped to yield 2 tablespoons

Directions

In a heavy-bottomed casserole, heat 3/4 of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, pearl onions, bay leaf, and garlic. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes.

Cook a few more minutes, stirring constantly, then add the red wine, and cook 5 minutes, continuing to stir constantly. Add the tomato sauce, pepper puree, and white wine. Season with salt and pepper, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes.

Add the fish and simmer until it's opaque, about 5 minutes. Remove the onion and add the remaining tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle the parsley and divide evenly among 6 warmed bowls.

One of the best fish dishes ever
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Sophisticated, yet easy, with a Southern Italian, dare I say North African (the aromatic spices!) quality that is impossible... to mistake. I am in awe of this recipe. I have to admit I combined it a little - due to a lack of the complete list of ingredients - with Batali's other monkfish recipe by adding a cinnamon stick and substituting a teaspoon of pepper flakes for the roasted red pepper. It was so good I nearly wept. That good. Really.Read more

tasty and easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

After watching this episode I decided I wanted to try this recipe. I found it easy to prep and easy to cook. It also... required little clean up. I chose to serve a simple risotto and a salad as sides. In less than a hour I made what my husband called a gourmet meal. It was satisfying and relatively healthy. It would make a simple and delicious dish for a dinner party.Read more
