Curry Roast Monkfish

This was very very good.

First take 6kg pale malted barley and 56g of Target hops, add 4l of
water at 50'C, stir and rest 20m. Now add 8l of boiling water, bring
to 60'C, stir well, and prepare your monkfish.

Take 1 clove of garlic, slice into slivers and stud into the monkfish
tail much as you would for a leg of lamb. Sprinkle lightly with olive
oil, salt, a little chilli powder. a little smoked paprika, and 1tsp
curry powder. Place in a roasting dish with some cold boiled potatoes
and sliced tomatoes. Roast for 30m in a 220'C oven.

When the fish is nearly ready, add 8l of 80'C water to the mash. Stir
well. Rest for about 25 minutes (this should bring it to about 70'C
but it didn't. Adjust as necessary with boiling water / direct heat).

Eat fish served with lovely steamed samphire.

Continue making beer.
