Method

  • Begin by preparing the red wine sauce. Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan and lightly caramelise over a medium heat without stirring
  • Add the red wine vinegar and reduce the liquid to a third, then pour in the red wine and port and continue to reducing until it forms a syrup
  • Pour the balsamic vinegar into the saucepan and whisk in the olive oil. Season with a little salt and pepper, and finely sift to make sure it is smooth
  • For the monkfish, sprinkle salt over the fish to season and then brush the fillets all over with a little oil. Cook for 4-5 minutes either on a barbecue or a hot griddle pan until the fish is slightly scorched on the outside and cooked through, then remove from the heat and drizzle some fresh lemon juice over the monkfish
  • To serve, plate the fillets and carefully pour over the red wine sauce. Serve immediately with grilled vegetables
