Instructions:

For the garlic vanilla crust, dice the toast and grind finely in a food processor. Whip the butter in a bowl until creamy. Press the fresh garlic into the butter with a garlic press and add the vanilla pulp. Fold in toast cubes, season with salt and pepper. Place the mixture in a freezer bag and roll out to a thickness of 5 mm. Place in the freezer for 1 hour.

Rinse the monkfish fillets and pat dry. Heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the fillets in it for 1-2 minutes on both sides. Add salt and pepper and thyme, rosemary and garlic. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil and place the fish fillets and herbs on it. Cook in the preheated oven at 130 °C for 10 minutes.

Cut the garlic-vanilla crust into rectangles, remove the foil and place the crust on the fried fish fillets. Grill under the grill coil for about 3-4 minutes.

For the basil pasta, heat oil in a pan and sauté the cherry tomatoes briefly. Add the sugar, caramelize slightly and deglaze with the vinegar. Cool down a bit.

Bring plenty of salted water to the boil and cook the tagliatelle in it until al dente. Drain and add to the cherry tomatoes.

Toss the pine nuts in butter and olive oil, add salt and pepper and the basil.

For the lime sauce, heat the butter and sauté the shallots in it. Add fish stock, white wine and lime juice and reduce by half. Schl

Preparation Tip:

If you fold 1 egg yolk into the mixture for the garlic-vanilla crust along with the toast, it will be smoother.
