Ingredients
- ½ tsp Tandoori spice
- 185g monkfish fillet
- 1 clove of garlic sliced

Method
- Sprinkle the Tandoori spice over the monkfish and lightly oil it.
- Preheat the oven 200C.
- In a heavy-bottomed pan, melt some butter and dash of oil. When it is smoking, add the monkfish. Let the spices caramelise, then put the pan in the oven for about 3-4 minutes. When the fish is firm to the touch when cooked, take out of the oven and let rest.
- For the sauce, take another pan and melt the butter, add the diced onions, garlic and chilli. Soften for a couple of minutes.
- Add the white wine and reduce down by half, then add the cream and saffron.
- Add the mussels and cover with a lid - let them poach in the sauce for 2 minutes.
- Finish with chopped flat parsley, a squeeze of lemon and the diced Gubbeen chorizo.
- Arrange the monkfish, mash and mussel sauce in a bowl.
