  • 1 Heat olive oil in a saucepan and gently fry the onion until soft and golden. Add minced garlic and one hot chili pepper sliced in rings, stir and continue to fry.
  • 2 Add crushed tomatoes, sugar, chopped basil leaves, and one spoon of Vegeta spice blend. Sauté on low heat for 15-20 minutes, adding a little water to keep it moist.

  • 4 Cut the monkfish into nicely sized steaks and fry the fish in warm olive oil in a skillet until nice and golden. Add the fried fish to the sauce and briefly cook for the flavours to blend.
