Arroz de Tamboril

Another easy one pot dish. Tamboril is monkfish (Dutch: zeeduivel), which has a firm texture needed for a recipe like this. I used my earthenware pot on an open fire.

Add olive oil, garlic, bayleaf and chopped onion to a pot (optional: celery stick) fry. Add diced tomatoes once the onion is soft. Stir in Portugese carolino rice, coat the rice with the oil and add a glass of white wine. Finally pour in a generous amount of fish stock (1 - 1,5 liter).

Simmer for 30 minutes. Add the monkfish and fresh prawns, adjust for water, and simmer for another 7 minutes or so.

When ready you can stir in some butter, add black pepper and salt to taste. One thing I noticed is that the rice will soak up a lot of moisture after the cooking proces. Serve with lemon and fresh cilantro.
