Method
- Remove the skin from the chorizo as best you can and cut into half cm rounds.
- Cut the monkfish into chunky similar sized pieces.
- Thread the monkfish and chorizo alternately on the skewers and refrigerate.
- Put the olive oil in a pot with the onion and garlic then cook gently for five minutes or so.
- Add the rice and the spice and turn everything together so the rice is coated nicely.
- Add the chicken stock, orange and bayleaves then bring to a gentle simmer.
- Cook for twenty minutes or so until the rice is soft.
- Add the cream, sugar and seasoning, cover and keep warm.
- For the dressing, add all the other ingredients into the melted butter, bring to a gentle bubble and allow to infuse in a warm place.
- Heat a ribbed grill or frying pan. Add a little olive oil and cook the skewers on a high heat for 3 minutes or so, turning occasionally until caramelised and golden.
- Season and serve on top of the rice with a little of the dressing.
