Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Slice the monkfish lengthways to create a pocket without cutting all the way through.
  • Place two piquillo peppers inside each fillet and season with salt and pepper.
  • Roll the fillets closed around the peppers.
  • Combine the chopped herbs on a plate.
  • Roll the fish fillets in the herb mixture to coat them thoroughly.
  • Wrap each fillet in five overlapping slices of pancetta and secure tightly in aluminium foil.
  • Sear the foil-wrapped parcels in a hot frying pan for 15 seconds per side.
  • Bake the parcels on a tray for 10 to 15 minutes until the fish is cooked.
  • Serve the parcels wrapped for guests to open at the table.
