Monkfish brochette with coffee chips

Suggested by Diane Flamand,Oenologist of the Collection range

Ingredients

  • 4 thin slices of speck (lightly smoked, raw ham)
  • 75cl red wine
  • 8 pure Arabica coffee beans
  • Freshly-ground pepper, salt
  • 1 small bay leaf
  • 1 carrot
  • 80 g celeriac
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 clove
  • 1 small veal bone

For 4 persons Preparation time: 30 min | Cooking time: 6 min

Remove the monkfish fillets from the central bone with a fine knife.

Keep the fillets in a cold place.

Peel the carrot, the celeriac and the onion, dice them and put them in a pan with some butter. Sweat them over a high heat, season very lightly with salt and pepper. Add the veal bone, the monkfish bones, the clove and the bay leaf and cover with the red wine.

Cook for 1 h 30 on a medium heat. Strain. Reduce the liquid by half, check the seasoning. Keep warm.

Roast the coffee beans in a dry frying pan and chop them roughly.

Wipe the monkfish fillets carefully using absorbent kitchen paper and cut them in large cubes.

Wrap each cube in a thin slice of ham and thread them on the skewers.

Brown them in a hot pan with grape seed oil. Sprinkle the coffee chips over them and serve immediately with the sauce.

Serve with a young Saga Médoc
