Preparation:

















Instructions:

1. score the monkfish along the middle bone, detach two large fillet pieces from the bones. Divide them into a total of 32 pieces of 3 cm edge length. 2.

Clean, de-bone and thoroughly brush the mussels. Now rinse under running water. Carefully open the 32 mussels with the tip of a knife and collect the liquid that comes out in a bowl.

Cut the bread into thick slices, remove the rind, cut into cubes and grind in a hand mixer. Then add the chopped herbs (a bunch of each) and the chopped garlic. Season with salt and pepper and continue to mix in a hand mixer so that all the ingredients are well mixed.

Put the breadcrumbs and the fish mince in a suitable bowl and coat the fish with breadcrumbs with your hands.

Put one breaded fish morsel in each of the 32 opened mussels. 5.

5. tie the mussels with spaghetti. This is easy, but takes a little time: to make it quicker, prepare 32 pieces of yarn about 25 cm long beforehand and wrap them twice around each mussel.

6. Place 3-4 unpeeled cloves of garlic in a large bowl together with a bunch of marjoram and basil, the halved tomatoes and the rest of the closed mussels. Finally, place the stuffed mussels on top. Pour the collected mussel water and 6 tablespoons of olive oil. Put the lid on and cook for 25 minutes.
