Number Of Ingredients 19

1 bay leaf
1 sprig fresh rosemary
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 bulb fennel, trimmed and chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups red wine
2 cups Brown Chicken Stock
12 cipollini onions, peeled
1 1/2 pounds wild mushrooms, such as hen of the woods, morels, or porcini, trimmed
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 pieces bone-in monkfish (8 ounces each)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 sprigs fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Wrap bay leaf, rosemary, 2 sprigs thyme, peppercorns, and fennel seeds in a piece of cheesecloth and tie to form a bouquet garni; set aside. In a large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, fennel, celery, and garlic; saute until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Pour over wine and stock, add bouquet garni, and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the liquid thickens to a sauce consistency, 45 to 60 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve, reserving liquid.
  • Place cipollini onions in a roasting pan over medium heat. Drizzle with 1/2 cup oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Cook for 5 minutes, add mushrooms, and cook until vegetables are tender; set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil over high heat. Pat fish dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper. Place in skillet and cook until browned on both sides.
  • Add reserved liquid to a Dutch oven. Whisk in butter, tarragon, remaining 2 sprigs thyme, and vinegar. Add mushroom mixture and fish. Cover, and transfer to oven. Cook until just heated through, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Transfer fish to shallow bowls. Spoon sauce over fish, and serve.
