From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Monkfish is one of those chunky fish that barbecues nicely without all the flesh falling through the bars and into the coals. It marinates well and I've discovered that if you're off your meat you can make it into rather a good sarnie too.
- 2 monkfish tails weighing about 300-350g each, skinned and removed from the bone, leaving you with 4 pieces
- 4 flatbreads
- 4 leaves of iceberg or cos lettuce
For the marinade
- 2tsp ground cumin
- 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
- 1 small red chilli, de-seeded and finely chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1tbsp olive oil
- Grated zest of half a lemon (reserve the juice for the relish)
- For the relish
- 3 tomatoes, roughly chopped
- 2 spring onions, finely chopped
- 2tbsp chopped coriander
- 1tbsp olive oil
- Juice of half a lemon
A few hours before cooking, score each fillet of monkfish several times, then put them into a container with the marinade. To make the relish, mix all of the ingredients together and season. To serve, cook the monkfish on the barbecue for 3-4 minutes on each side until just cooked. Meanwhile, heat the flatbreads on the barbecue for about 10 seconds on each side, then lay a leaf of lettuce on each, followed by the monkfish, and spoon on the relish; roll up the flatbreads.
