  • 500 g frozen cauliflower or a whole cauliflower

For the Grilled Kale

Instructions
 

Monkfish with Lime and Sage

  • Preheat your oven to 175 °C. Place the monkfish fillets in a glass dish. Add a drizzle of olive oil and pepper.
  • Dip the sage leaves in olive oil so that they do not dry out too much during cooking and place them on the monkfish fillets. Add lime zest all over.
  • Bake the monkfish in the oven for 20 minutes. To serve, place the monkfish fillets on a plate. Add fresh lime zest, a squeeze of lime and a little fleur de sel.

For the cauliflower puree

  • Put the cauliflower in a saucepan and add the water. Cook over medium heat for 20 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.
  • Mix the cauliflower with the water if not evaporated. Then add the butter, the juice of half a lemon, salt and pepper. Check the seasoning. Personally, I love to add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil but it’s optional.

For the Grilled Kale

  • Wash the kale and pat it dry. Cut it into small pieces.
  • Heat a little oil in a pan. Add the kale and cook it over medium heat for 5-10 minutes. Add salt and pepper. Remove the kale just as it begins to get crisp. Add a last drizzle of olive oil if necessary.
