This elegant roasted monkfish with curried lentils and browned butter cauliflower is a masterclass in balancing textures and sophisticated flavours. The meaty, succulent monkfish pairs beautifully with the earthy depth of Puy lentils, while the cauliflower is presented in two ways: as a silky, velvet-smooth purée and as nutty, butter-browned florets. A bright lemon and parsley gremolata cuts through the richness, providing a vibrant finish to this gourmet dish.
As a diabetes-friendly main course, this recipe focuses on high-quality protein and fibre-rich legumes, making it a nutritious choice that doesn't compromise on style. It is an impressive option for a weekend dinner party or a special occasion at home, offering a restaurant-standard meal that is naturally satisfying and packed with wholesome ingredients.

How to make Roasted Monkfish with Curried Lentils and Browned Butter Cauliflower
Volver al contenidoBring first 4 ingredients to boil in medium saucepan. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until cauliflower is very tender, about 17 minutes. Cool slightly. Transfer mixture to blender; add 3 tablespoons water and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Rewarm over medium heat, stirring, and adding more water to thin sauce, if desired.)
Heat oil in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery; sauté until soft, about 8 minutes. Add lentils, curry, and paprika; stir 1 minute. Add 600ml water; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until lentils are tender, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Uncover; stir until liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned, about 2 minutes. Add cauliflower; sauté until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water; cover and cook until cauliflower is crisp-tender and water evaporates, about 3 minutes longer. Stir in lentil mixture. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm before serving.)
