Method

Crush the pistachio nuts using a pestle and mortar.

Mix the crushed nuts, flour, sesame seeds, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

Spread the mixture on a tray and roll the monkfish in it to coat thoroughly.

Fry the fish in butter and oil for 6-7 minutes until golden-brown.

Boil the potatoes for 10-12 minutes until tender.

Drain the potatoes and crush them with a fork.

Mix butter and chives into the crushed potatoes.

Heat the sauce ingredients in a pan until the tomatoes soften.

Serve the fish sliced on top of the potatoes with a drizzle of sauce.
