THE MOORS AND SPANISH CUISINE.

Despite being Spanish in origin, the great thing about this recipe is that you can make it really easily with local ingredients. Castle Market has the best and cheapest king prawns in Sheffield - you can normally get eight whoppers for around £3 - but failing that, JH Mann in Hillsborough or Sharrow do marvellous fish for reasonable prices. This is a very simple dish but it's all about the flavours working together. Serves 2.

300g of monkfish tail, cut into decent sized chunks
8 king prawns (uncooked)
1 red pepper
Garlic
Chilli
Lemon
Olive Oil

Skewer the prawns whole with the monkfish and pepper chunks. Fry the garlic, chilli and olive oil up in a pan and drizzle over the kebabs. If you use wooden skewers make sure you wet them before or they'll burn.

Whack them under the grill for a few minutes each side and serve with some lemon and whatever's left of the sauce.

If you need to bulk it out I'd recommend something simple like boiled rice or noodles. Que aproveche!

Make a stock from the fish bones from your local fishmonger. Poach the salmon and whisk the double cream until thickened. Fold in the salmon.

Roll each sole fillet loosely and secure with a toothpick. Stuff with the salmon and cream mousseline.
