Bacon Wrapped Monkfish ! Roy’s Favorite
Posted by admin on 08/15/09 in Recipes
Today I’d like to share with you the dish one of my close friends calls his all-time favorite.
I decided to hold a Sea Feast at my place this week. Not that any reason is required, but a warm summer evening, my sister being in town and also, I may have forgotten Roy’s birthday the week before, but I just forgot a little bit!
The menu:
1.Warm Lobster salad- baby spinach,caramelized peaches. Wine pairing- Spago Nero ,Semi-dry Prosecco, ltaly NV, IGT
2. Pan roasted Scallops- over herbs and warm fresh corn. Topped with a shaved radish salad.
Wine pairing – Cantina Gabrielle Pinot Grigio, Italy 2008, IGT
3. Bacon Wrapped Monkfish over braised red cabbage and steamed snow peas.
Wine pairing – Teddy Hall Chenin Blanc, Stellenbosch South-Africa 2008
4. Jacqueline’s Peach and Cranberry crisp. Wine pairing-Pacific Rim,Vin De Glaciere,Riesling.Columbia Valley, Washington, U.S.A 2007.
Now, before we get to the dish at hand, a word about bacon. Bacon is a food group!
Well, not really from a nutritional standpoint (I realize it’s mostly fat, very little protein and some salts), but from a culinary standpoint – IT MAKES EVERYTHING TASTE BETTER!
Beautiful, flavorful fat/oil, smokiness, salt and that crispy texture….can I make it any more clear?

You made a number of excellent points there. I did a research on the matter and discovered almost all people will agree with your blog site. I planned to use your current Rss and yet it doesn’t work. i will probably keep working maybe is a local issue. Best wishes, Kim.
