Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Preheat the oven to 220C / fan 200C / gas mark 7. Cut the potatoes in half and score lines into them, place onto a tray, drizzle with 1 tbsp of oil and salt and pepper, bake for 35 mins, until golden and crispy.
  2. Make the sauce. Finely dice the shallot, dice the pepper, finely chop the chives, cut the tomato in half and scoop out the seeds (reserve the hollowed halves for later). Chop the seeds and place into a bowl with the shallot, pepper, half the chives, vinegar and tomato paste. Season with sea salt and black pepper and mix well. Mix 1 tbsp of the sauce with the edamame beans.
  3. Slice the courgette in half and season with sea salt and black pepper. Heat a medium frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on a medium-high heat. Place the courgette in the pan and cook for 5 mins each side, then place on a lined tray and roast for 10 mins.
  4. Keep the pan on the heat, add 1 tbsp of oil, place the monkfish into the pan and cook for 3-4 mins on each side until cooked through. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
  5. Serve the courgette topped with the monkfish and the sauce spooned over the top. Place the potatoes and edamame beans in the hollowed out tomato alongside. Garnish with the remaining chives.
