Pan-Fried Monkfish with Bunya Nut Hash, Rocket and Madamia Nut Pesto
- 400 grams potatoes
- 12 each - Bunya Nuts*
- 4 each monkfish fillets, 250g each
- 100 grams arugula (roquette)
- 80 grams macadamia nuts
- 50 grams parsley leaves
- 100 millilitres olive oil
- 20 grams butter
- 30 grams honey
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 each - rainforest rub
- 1 strip watercress for garnish
- First, peel the potatoes and bring them to the boil in small pot; in another pot, boil the bunya nuts and allow to cool in the boiled water.
- For the pesto; finely chop the macadamia nuts, rocket, parsley or blend together in a food processor and then reduce this mixture to a paste in a mortar and pestle adding a little olive oil, honey, Rainforest Rub and salt to taste.
- Remove the shells from the bunya nuts and chop the nut meat finely; drain the potatoes; coarsely mash both of these in a bowl and season with Outback salt and form into hash brown sized patties.
- In a sauce pan, heat a little olive oil and melt in some butter; pan-fry the bunya nut hash browns until golden; it may require a little more olive oil during the process; make sure to keep the temperature down to low to avoid any smoking of the oil.
- Ensure the fish is free of all bones and in another sauce pan heat a little olive oil and butter and pan fry the monkfish until also golden brown on medium heat.
- Styling - When cooked, place a bunya nut hash brown on the plate, top with the monk fish, then simply garnish with the rocket and macadamia nut pesto and a sprig of watercress.
