Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pomme Purée

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

  2. 2

    Make the Purée

    Add heavy cream and butter to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Stir in truffle oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mushrooms

    In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add chopped shallots and sauté until translucent. Add the mushrooms and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Roast the Monkfish

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place monkfish fillets on a lined baking sheet. Drizzle with truffle oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and flaky.

  5. 5

    Plate the Dish

    On each plate, spoon a generous amount of pomme purée. Top with roasted monkfish and spoon the sautéed mushrooms and shallots over the fish. Garnish with finely chopped parsley and chives.
