Lemon-Poached Monkfish #Whole30

As I continue on my Whole30 Adventure, I have been asked to share some of my recipes. We've been eating a lot of seafood this week. I cook a lot of seafood anyway, but, for some reason, I've been longing for seafood with my veg-heavy plates.

Earlier this week, I picked up some monkfish filets from my fishmonger. And instead of cooking the monkfish en papillote, I decided to try poaching them. I served the monkfish with Simple Sweet Potatoes and a Tangy Slaw.

I love that this poached monkfish is delicious and on the table in less than 30 minutes. Winner!

Ingredients fillets serves 4

4 monkfish filets
water
2 T + 1 t freshly squeezed lemon juice
4 T ghee, or clarified butter
zest from 1 organic lemon
2 T fresh herbs (I used a combination of parsley and cilantro)
freshly ground salt
freshly ground pepper

Procedure

Place water, approximately 3/4" deep, in a large, flat-bottom pan. Pour in 2 T freshly squeezed lemon juice and bring to a boil. Add the monkfish filets and poach for 7 to 8 minutes - until the fish is opaque white and no longer translucent. Remove from the poaching liquid and set aside.

Melt the ghee or clarified butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in 1 t lemon juice and lemon zest. To serve, roll the poached monkfish in melted ghee and place on an individual serving plate. Sprinkle with fresh herbs, salt, and pepper. Serve immediately.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos .
