PEASANT STYLE MONKFISH STEW
This is based on a recipe I saw on Emeril Live. I had to make some adaptations because I don't eat meat and Emeril has quite a fondness for sausage and pork fat! The original recipe called for 1/2 lb of chorizo, but I usually substitute either seafood sausage or soy Italian sausage in its place. On occasion, I've added 1/2 lb shrimp to this as well.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Sprinkle Creole seasoning on all sides of the monkfish.
- In a large stock pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the monkfish and sear, about 2 minutes per side.
- Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add whatever sausage you prefer to the oil in the pan and cook, stirring, until brown, about 3 minutes, (a little less if you use the seafood sausage).
- Add the onions and bell peppers and cook until slightly softened, for about 3 minutes.
- Add the shallots and garlic, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
- Add the tomato paste and cook until slightly browned.
- Add the wine and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up all the bits that have stuck to the bottom of the pan.
- (Note, the seafood and/or soy sausage don't give off nearly the fat that chorizo would, so I usually keep my on it until I pour in the wine to make sure its not getting too dry).
- Reduce wine for a couple minutes add then add your tomatoes.
- Let them cook for about 1 minute and then add the olives, potatoes, oregano, and bay leaf.
- Finally, add the shrimp stock and stir well.
- Bring to a boil.
- Remove from the heat, return the monkfish to the pan, cover tightly and roast in oven until the fish is tender, about 35 to 40 minutes.
- Remove from the oven.
- Divide the monkfish and pan juices among 4 large, deep bowls.
- Sprinkle each portion with the cheese and parsley if desired.
- Serve immediately.
- I always serve with lots of crusty bread to mop up the juice.

Steps:
- Soak the clams in cold water to remove grit and sand, then drain. Rinse and de-beard the mussels. Put the monkfish, scrod, squid and bay scallops (if using) in separate small bowls. Season the fish lightly with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions and leeks and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato, thyme, bay leaf, saffron, garlic, paprika and red pepper flakes. Season generously with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 5 minutes.
- Turn the heat to high, add the fish stock, chicken broth or water, and bring to a boil. Taste for salt and adjust to taste. Add the potatoes and reduce the heat so they simmer gently until firm-tender, about 10 minutes. (The stew may be prepared to this point up to 2 hours ahead.)
- To finish the stew, return the heat to a brisk simmer. Add the clams and cook till they open, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the mussels, monkfish and scrod and simmer until the mussels open, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the squid and scallops, if using, and cook 1 minute more. Turn off the heat, stir in the garlic-saffron sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

- Place the baking dish on top of the stove and heat until the oil begins to sizzle. Add the white wine and scatter the mushrooms around the fillets. Bring the wine just to a simmer.
