Spiced Monkfish with Eggplant/Shroom/Potato Hash


The Fish portion of this recipe (Page 144) is from Gordon Ramsay's Healthy Appetite cookbook (with just a little tweaking from me). This is a great cookbook with a ton of easy and healthy recipes to choose from. For all of you that are sceptical of British cooking especially the healthiness of it, this cookbook has those influences and many more. It's not just 'Fish and Chips' and "Bangers and Mash' any more. The side is my own little creation. Hope you like it!
