COOKING FORUM

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. To make the banana leaves more pliable, hold for a few seconds over a gas flame. Leaving aside the fish and herb sticks, pound the rest of the ingredients in a pestle and mortar to make a thick paste and spoon a little onto each banana leaf. Place the fish on top and then spoon the rest of the paste on the top. Bring the sides in and spike securely with a rosemary sprig or bay leaf stick. Put the wrapped monkfish on a tray and bake for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven, and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve with white rice. Makes 4 servings.
