Method
- Preheat oven to 220°C/425°F/gas 7. Pat grated potato with kitchen paper to remove excess moisture. Microwave for 5 mins with the butter in a covered bowl.
- Add the shredded leek and garlic and cook for a further 3 mins. Season well and bind together with the egg. Chill until ready to cook.
- Meanwhile prepare the kebabs. Cut the monkfish into large cubes and thread onto the lemon grass skewers along with the bay leaf and red pepper. Place in a container and drizzle with the lemon juice and olive oil. Cover and chill until ready to cook.
- To cook rosti shape into 8 x 8cm rounds using a pastry cutter and shallow fry over a very gentle heat for 10 mins on each side until crisp and golden, turning carefully with a fish slice.
- Grill marinated kebabs for 6-8 mins under a hot grill, turning half way through cooking.
- Serve kebabs on top of the rosti along with a mixed leaf salad.
