First time ever cooking Monkfish which I love for it's firm, lobster-like texture.
This is a quick and easy recipe based loosely on:
http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/monkfish-provincial/Detail.aspx
1 lb monkfish, cut in bitesize chunks
2 small tomatoes, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 T flour
1 t cajun seasoning
1 T olive oil
1/2 c wine
1/2 T butter
salt to taste
Recipe portions are very loose. I didn't measure at all.
1. Fry garlic in olive oil
2. Add tomatoes and cook until flesh starts to break down
3. Mix fish with flour and seasoning
4. Add wine, butter and fish
5. Cover and simmer for 3-4 mins
We had it with a baguette, but it would be better with a side of rice.
We actually made this with zucchini, but I would skip it next time. Zucchini doesn't absorb flavors very well. Mushrooms would probably absorb flavors of sauce nicely.

Aloo Gobhi
We have been on an indian food kick lately. Meanwhile, I've been wanting to cook with cauliflower, so this dish was a perfect combination. Our first attempt had too many potatoes and was served with rice. Too much starch. Scooping up with paratha is perfect. Warmed tortillas will work in a pinch.
