Ingredients
The following quantity of ingredients will serve six people.
- 100 g ciabatta
- 600 g skinless monkfish fillets trimmed
- 1 lemon
- olive oil
- sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Method of preparation
- The first step is to place a set of 6 wooden skewers on a large sized roasting tray. Put cold water inside the tray and soak the skewers. This is important so that the skewers do not get burnt in the process of grilling.
- Using a chopping board, start slicing off all the sides of the ciabatta and then cut it in chunks measuring 2 cms. Put these in a large mixing bowl. Add a splash of boiling hot water and toss.
- Getting back to the chopping board again, slice the fish into chunks. These should be even sized so that they cook well. Also, these chunks should be the same size as that of the ciabatta.
- Time to wash your hands along with the cutting board and your cutting knife. Then take the lemon and cut it in six wedges.
- Remove the soaked skewers from the tray of cold water. Wipe the tray clean.
- Now divide the fish and the ciabatta equally between the skewers. Pushing them too close to each other will not let them cook properly. So make sure you keep them decently spaced apart.
- Thread out the lemon wedges and add one piece of fish after each wedge.
- Place all the skewers on the tray.
- Get your BBQ grill ready. Place the skewers on the grill; and cook each side for around 15 minutes.
- You may even cook the kebabs in different batches.
- Move the kebabs on a fresh platter when they are done. These can be served with plain white rice or pita bread.
The recipe has just 122.6% caloric count per piece. The total fat content of the kebabs is just 2.2 grams. With rich taste and fine texture, these monkfish kebabs are an excellent idea for any outdoor party.
