Arroz a banda rossejat with Monkfish

This classic Mediterranean rice dish is very easy and quick to make, and it turns out delicious. 'Arroz a banda' means making a fish broth on one side and the sautéed rice (rossejat) on the other, then serving them separately. Today, I’m making it with monkfish, but you can also use mixed small fish. It’s usually served with allioli sauce.
Traditionally, fishermen made this as if it were two dishes: rice cooked in a paella pan, and a stew of broth with potatoes and flaked fish, known as 'caldero marinero.'

Steps
- 1
Heat a large pot with oil and sauté the seasoned monkfish. Add the potatoes, cut into quarters, and then the onion, also cut up. Sauté until golden.
- 2
Add the tablespoon of paprika, and before it burns, pour in the water.
Let it cook until the monkfish is done, then adjust the broth for salt.
- 3
In a paella pan, sauté the unpeeled, chopped garlic cloves, grated tomatoes, and rice. This is called 'rossejar' the rice—sautéing it before cooking. Once everything is well sautéed, add the strained broth and cook until the rice is completely dry.
- 4
Optional:
Turn on the oven broiler and brown the top.
- 5
On a serving platter, arrange the monkfish tail and the potatoes used for cooking. Make an allioli sauce and serve it at the table along with the rice.
