Monkfish With Prosciutto, Capers, Parsley and Potatoes

(from xombi’s recipe box)

This hearty, flavoursome dish is a great treat for the weekend and because everything is cooked in one pan, all the flavours are absorbed into the potatoes – and washing up is kept to a minimum!
The meaty monkfish paired with the prosciutto and capers help to give the dish some surprising and delicious flavours. Best enjoyed with a chilled bottle of Greco di Tufo.
