Method

step 1
Heat a splash of olive oil in a large casserole pan over medium heat. Add the frozen soffritto (250 g) and fry for 5-6 minutes, until softened. Stir in the tomato, garlic and herb paste (1 jar). Cook for 1 minute before stirring in the chopped tomatoes (1 tin), smoked paprika (1 tsp), chilli flakes (1/2 tsp) and paella rice (300 g).
step 2
Dissolve the white wine flavour pot (1) in 600ml boiling water along with the saffron (1 pinch). Stir this into the rice.
step 3
Bring to a simmer, then cook over a medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Stir in the peppers (1 tub), then turn the heat to medium-low and cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring regularly, until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed (add a splash of water if the rice is looking too dry). Remove from the heat.
step 4
Meanwhile, when the rice is almost ready, pat the monkfish (1 pack) dry with kitchen paper and season with salt and pepper. Heat a splash of oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat and pan-fry the monkfish chunks for 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
step 5
Add the monkfish to the pan with the rice, cover and allow to stand for 5 minutes, until the monkfish is cooked through. Serve with the parsley (10 g), aioli (4 tbsp) and lemon wedge (1).
step 5 Add the monkfish to the pan with the rice, cover and allow to stand for 5 minutes, until the monkfish is cooked through. Serve with the parsley (10 g), aioli (4 tbsp) and lemon wedge (1).
