Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:

For steamed monkfish with chermoula & couscous,

line a steamer with coriander leaves and place 700 g monkfish tail, cut into bite-sized pieces, on top. Steam for 8–10 minutes until just cooked through and tender. Season and serve hot with a bowl of ready-made chermoula paste for dipping. Serve with a herby or spicy couscous.
