INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat deep fat fryer to 160c.  1 For the Batter: Sift 120g flour into
a medium bowl and crack the  egg into the centre. Add the baking
powder, ginger and lemon rind.  Gradually incorporate the water,
stirring continuously and add half  the lemon juice to form a lump-free
batter.  2 Heat a medium pan and drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the
tinned  pimento and crush in the garlic clove. Add a pinch of paprika
and the  white wine vinegar or lemon juice, and warm gently on a low
heat.  3 Cut the white radish in half and cut into diagonal slices. Put
to  one side. Cut the monkfish tail into two separate fillets by
carefully slicing down either side of the centre bone. Cut each  fillet
into five or six pieces.  4 Place the monkfish pieces in the flour and
coat well. Take the  monkfish out of the flour, dust well and place
into the batter. Test  the heat of the oil by inserting a small cube of
bread.  5 Make sure the monkfish pieces are well coated in batter, lift
the  basket slightly out of the oil and place the fish carefully in the
basket. Lower into the oil and cook for about a minute.  6 Remove the
sauce from the heat and use a hand blender to emulsify  the sauce until
a fairly smooth consistency has been achieved. Heat a  wok and drizzle
with groundnut oil. Add the carrots, white radish and  celery and
stir-fry for a minute.  7 Add the red pepper and baby corn and keep
stir-frying. Add the  sugar snap peas, 2 tbsp soy sauce, pinch of
Chinese five spice, 1  tbsp sesame seeds and the rest of the lemon
juice. Toss for another  20 seconds and turn off the heat.  8 When the
monkfish is crisp and golden, remove from the oil and  place on a
kitchen towel-covered plate to drain off excess oil.  Season well with
salt and pepper.  7 To serve, stack up the vegetables in the centre of
the serving plate  forming a nest effect and add the monkfish pieces on
top or around the  nest. Carefully drizzle the sauce around the
arrangement and serve.  Garnish with a sprig of flat leaf parsley and a
lemon wedge.  Converted by MC_Buster.  Recipe by: Can't Cook Won't Cook
