Monkfish:

  • Preheat the oven to 180 ° C top and bottom heat. Wrap the monkfish lightly with pepper in slices of bacon and place in a baking dish. Drizzle with the olive oil and add the peeled garlic cloves. Then turn the heat of the oven down to approx. 120 ° C and put the monkfish in the oven and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes. Before serving, cut the monkfish into slices and season with a little salt and cayenne pepper.

Eggplant:

  • Wash the eggplant and cut lengthways into approx. 4 mm thick slices. Heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the aubergine slices on both sides for about 3 minutes until they are soft but not crispy. Salt, pepper and drain on a plate lined with kitchen paper.

Pea filling:

  • For the filling, peel and finely chop the onions. Heat the olive oil in a small pan and fry the onions over medium heat for about 4 minutes. In the meantime, cook the peas in a small saucepan in salted boiling water for a few minutes and drain.
  • Wash the lemon balm leaves and pat dry, put some of them aside for decoration. Coarsely puree the peas with onions, cashew butter and lemon balm in a blender and season with salt and pepper. Brush the aubergine slices with the pea filling and roll them up.

Mushroom cream:

  • For the mushroom cream, carefully clean and finely chop the chanterelles. Peel the garlic and also finely chop it. Heat the olive oil in a small pan or saucepan and fry the garlic in it for 1 minute. Add the chanterelles and fry for another 3 minutes. Deglaze with the soy cream and puree with the hand blender. Season with salt and pepper.
