Mix 1 tablespoon of the oil with 1 heaped teaspoon of the ras el hanout in a small bowl to make a loose paste. Spread over the monkfish fillets in a dish using a pastry brush, cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for an hour.

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/Gas Mark 6.

Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large, deep frying pan over a high heat, and when it is smoking, add the monkfish and sear quickly until it is golden brown on all sides.

Transfer the monkfish to a baking tray and roast for 10–12 minutes until it is cooked through. Remove from the oven and leave to rest for a few minutes under some tented foil.

While the monkfish is roasting, throw into the same frying pan you used to sear the fish the fennel, leek, garlic, remaining ras el hanout and turmeric. Stir together for a couple of minutes before deglazing the pan with the white wine. Leave the wine to cook out for a minute, stirring constantly, then add the stock. Turn the heat down very slightly and leave the sauce to bubble away and reduce for 10 minutes or until its reduced by two-thirds. Add the cream and the mustard and keep stirring for a further 3 minutes. Season with the salt and black pepper to taste.

Divide the sauce between 4 shallow bowls or plates. Slice the monkish into generous rounds and place neatly on top of the sauce in the centre. Serve immediately, sprinkled with the reserved fennel fronds, with some fine green beans drizzled with oil and lemon juice and a bowl of buttered new potatoes on the side.
