It's been a busy and tiring week so far, with a funeral this afternoon, so we dropped off at Waitrose for a huge piece of monkfish tail on the way home, which would be quick and easy to cook. Cut into meaty chunks and marinated in chopped rosemary, anchovy, garlic and lemon, I was anticipating a speedy supper. About three hours and one bowl of garlic mayonnaise later, I was ready, finally, to cook the fish, even though my arm is ready to drop off! However, this recipe is worth it: lovely succulent fish and the most amazingly delicious mayo I have ever eaten! Accompanied by crisp sauteed potatoes that were dunked into the mayo, and finely shredded English runner beans - the first of the season - we dined like royalty - albeit very late! More mayo left over so we'll saute some more potatoes tomorrow and make a meal of dunking the crisp, salty wedges into the garlicky buttercup yellow lusciousness.
