Monk is a fish that can really handle the fierce heat of a pizza oven. The meaty texture absorbs robust flavours and takes on smoky wood tones. This recipe uses paprika, basil, tarragon and black olives for a Provençal style dish that’s delicious served simply with steamed rice or new potatoes.
Method
Preheat your pizza oven to 300˚C and in a roasting tray cook your diced pancetta, peppers, onion and tomatoes with 1 tbsp of olive oil, paprika and tarragon for 5 mins until the bacon starts to crisp and the peppers char.
Then rub 1 tbsp of oil into your diced monk and season with salt and pepper. Mix with the black olives.
Remove the roasting tray from your oven and add in your olives and seasoned monk fish.
Roast for a further 5-10 mins. Garnish with Greek basil.
This dish was roasted in the Alfa Forni 5 Minuti. For more information and prices, click here.

Lamb Breast ‘Porchetta’ with Harissa and Wild Garlic! One of my favourite ways to use a wood-oven is to utilise the residual heat of the oven to slow cook things overnight.
