    Ingredients

    • 600g monkfish tail, skinless
    • 400g new potatoes, cut in half
    • 1 red onion, roughly chopped
    • 2 courgettes, cut into small pieces
    • 1 red pepper, deseeded and cut into small pieces
    • 1 yellow pepper, deseeded and cut into small pieces
    • 2 tablespoon olive oil
    • 40g sundried tomatoes in oil, finely chopped
    • 1 garlic clove, crushed
    • 30g basil, coarsely chopped
    • 4 Parma ham slices
    • 200g baby plum tomatoes
    • 3 lemons

    Method

    • Place the potatoes in a large pan of boiling salted water and cook for 20 minutes or until tender. Drain well and tip onto a large roasting tray.
    • Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas Mark 7.
    • Toss the onion, courgettes, peppers, olive oil and tomatoes with the juice of 1 lemon in the roasting tray along with the boiled potatoes.
    • Wrap each monkfish with a slice of Parma ham, then lay it on top, over the rest of the vegetables and garlic and drizzle with 15ml lemon juice. Season well, then cover with foil.
    • Roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes until just tender and cooked through (add a little more cooking time if the fish is very thick at the tail end).
    • Squeeze over 1 more lemon to taste before serving, along with some fresh basil leaves.
    • Serving Suggestions: Serve immediately with fresh bread to mop up any juices.
