Puree this mass with the panko smooth. For the duxelles, fry the mushrooms and shallots in olive oil, add the candied bell pepper and cook for 2 minutes.

Season with the tomato and chopped Basil Cress. Chop the duxelles.

For the foam, reduce the juice by half and supplement with the coconut milk and warm beurre noisette.

Season with the miso, salt and pepper and bind with textura. Cut the monkfish into slices and top with the dried tomato slices.

Serve with the puree and duxelles and finish with the foam. Garnish the dish with the Borage Cress and the Vene Cress, the artichoke and the potato chip.
