Step-by-Step Method for Monkfish and Pancetta Kebabs
Soak wooden skewers in water for 20-30 minutes if using wooden skewers
Cut monkfish portions into 3-inch cubes
Wrap each monkfish cube with a rasher of pancetta
Pit the black olives if needed
Thread wrapped monkfish cubes and black olives onto skewers, alternating each piece
In a small bowl, mix crushed garlic, capers, chopped parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper
Brush or spoon the marinade mixture over all sides of the kebabs
Preheat your grill or griddle pan over medium-high heat
Place the kebabs on the grill or pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, turning, until pancetta is crisp and monkfish is opaque and just cooked through
Remove kebabs from heat and rest for 2 minutes
Arrange kebabs on a warmed serving platter
Drizzle with extra marinade if desired
Scatter with additional chopped parsley for garnish
Serve immediately with lemon wedges or a simple green salad on the side
