Season the outside with salt and pepper, seal in a hot pan. Finish by roasting in the oven at 230 C/450 F/gas mark 8 for approximately 8-10 minutes.

Meanwhile have the potatoes boiling, when cooked strain and mash down with the butter and chopped flat parsley. Keep warm in a hot pan.

Saute the pre-blanched baby onions and shallot, add the mushrooms, season and cook.

To serve:
Take a 4 inch pastry ring and place in the centre of the plate. Push the heated crushed potato into it. Remove the monkfish from the oven, cut off both ends. Place onto the potato, divide the garnish around the plate.
