Method
1. Mix all ingredients well together in a bowl, place on skewers alternating monkfish tail and chorizo.
2. Grill direct over the coals, getting some colour all over the skewers. Once nicely seared, move to indirect.
3. Leave on indirect heat until the monkfish is cooked. I cook the fish to 60°C internal temp and let it rest; this cooks through perfect with the chorizo cooked as well.
YOGHURT FLATBREAD

CRUSHED AVOCADO
1. Skin the avocado, remove the stone, crush the avocado with a fork, and chop the coriander.
2. Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.
ROMESCO PEPPER SALSA
1. Toast the pine nuts in a pan on the grill.
2. Roast peppers direct on charcoal.
3. Peel and core the peppers and dice into small cubes.
4. Deseed the tomato; dice into small cubes
