Ingredients

  • 7/8 pound potatoes
  • 18 nuts bunya
  • 4 monkfish fillets x 250gs
  • 5 cups rocket
  • 9/16 cup macadamia nuts
  • 7/8 cup parsley
  • 6 3/4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 3/8 tablespoons butter
  • 1 7/16 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon rub Rainforest
  • 1 sprig watercress for garnish

Method

  • First, peel the potatoes and bring them to the boil in small pot; in another pot, boil the bunya nuts and allow to cool in the boiled water.
  • For the pesto; finely chop the macadamia nuts, rocket, parsley or blend together in a food processor and then reduce this mixture to a paste in a mortar and pestle adding a little olive oil, honey, Rainforest Rub and salt to taste.
  • Remove the shells from the bunya nuts and chop the nut meat finely; drain the potatoes; coarsely mash both of these in a bowl and season with salt and form into hash brown sized patties.
  • In a sauce pan, heat a little olive oil and melt in some butter; pan-fry the bunya nut hash browns until golden; it may require a little more olive oil during the process; make sure to keep the temperature down to low to avoid any smoking of the oil.
  • Ensure the fish is free of all bones and in another sauce pan heat a little olive oil and butter and pan fry the monkfish until also golden brown on medium heat.
