Creating a delightful starter that’s simple to make, monkfish terrine is a sophisticated recipe that showcases the subtle flavor of the fish. This refined dish combines the soft texture of monkfish with a rich mixture of mascarpone and cream, while spices like ginger and citrus add a unique twist that enhances the seafood flavors.
Ingredients
For 4 servings:
– Monkfish: 600g
– Mascarpone: 100g
– Whipping cream: 10cl
– Eggs: 4
– Tomato paste: 1 can
– Cornstarch: 2 tsp
– Salt: to taste
– Pepper: to taste
– Spices: to taste
– Ginger: to taste
– Citrus: to taste
Preparation
1. Carefully remove the skin from the monkfish fillets. Sauté them for 1 minute on each side in a bit of olive oil with a pinch of ginger and citrus spices, salt, and pepper. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
2. In a bowl, combine the mascarpone, whipping cream, tomato paste, cornstarch, eggs, salt, and pepper.
3. Line a terrine mold with parchment paper. Pour a portion of the creamy mixture into the mold, lay the monkfish fillets on top, then cover with the remaining mixture. Cook in a water bath in the oven at 392°F (200°C) for 40 minutes.
Allow to cool at room temperature. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
To Finish
Serve the terrine with a frothy sauce (see my recipe) or a herbal vinaigrette for a perfect accompaniment.
