Instructions
Step 1
- In a large pot, heat olive oil, onions, carrots, ginger, cumin, curry powder, cinnamon, basil, salt, and black pepper on medium heat. Stir in the cooking wine. Lower your heat to a simmer and cover the pan for 7 to 10 minutes so that the flavors combine.
Step 2
- Remove your lid and add the tomatoes and apples to the pot. Turn the temperature to medium-low and simmer with the lid on for 10 minutes (if you use fresh tomatoes, it might take longer). Gently stir every once in a while.
Step 3
- Add your monkfish and simmer with the lid on for 5 to 6 minutes (until the monkfish is soft, test it with a fork).
- Serve and enjoy!
