Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh monkfish, skin removed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, medium slice
  • 4 red jalapenos, seeded and chopped
  • 8 fresh, overripe plum tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup freshly chopped mint leaves, plus extra, roughly chopped for garnish
  • 1 pound spaghetti or spaghettini
  • 1/2 cup fennel leaves, roughly chopped

Directions

Season the monkfish with salt.

Bring 6 quarts of water to a rolling boil and add 2 teaspoons salt.

In a 12 to 14-inch saute pan, heat the olive oil, garlic, jalapenos, monkfish, salt and pepper and cook until softened, but not browned, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add tomatoes, white wine, and monkfish and simmer 5 to 6 minutes more, until the monkfish is just cooked. Add the mint leaves and stir through. Remove the pan from the heat.

Cook the pasta according to the package directions until just al dente and drain. Pour the hot pasta into the pan with the monkfish and stir gently to mix. Pour the pasta into a warm serving dish, sprinkle with the fennel leaves and mint. Serve immediately.

    Yum!

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I loved this dish but had to make one alteration... After I put the tomatoes in and let them simmer, the sauce looked very... watery so I deced to add a tablespoon or two of tomato paste in. That helped thicken it up a little and gave it a great color and flavor. I would definantly make this again!Read more

    Spectacular!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This dish was terrific! It tasted even better the next day. My sister, who is somewhat of a picky eater, wolfed down a huge... plate! Very easy and quick to prepare. I had to substitute grouper for the monkfish as my grocer was out and green jalapenos for the red ones. I will be making this dish again!!Read more

    Monkfish first...

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Hi Folks. FYI, this show was just on recently and surpisingly, Mario added the fish with the onions at the begining (before... the tomatoes). So anyone interested in making this really tasty recipe, can add the pieces of monkfish at the start with the aromatics. It's a great, lively, happy dish!Read more

    Confusing!

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    I just googled 'monkfish' to get some ideas for dinner. This recipe has the cubed monkfish being added at two different... times. Hunch is it's in Part 2, but who's to say?Read more

    A different taste sensation

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This is a different combination of flavors for fish! Easy to cook, this dish will surprise and please your diners. Loved ... the mint, but could not really taste the fennel esp with the hot peppers in the background.Read more
