This hearty and flavorful dish is a perfect example of how Portuguese cuisine combines fresh seafood, aromatic herbs, and spices to create a satisfying and delicious meal, but still keeping it simple to make. The dish is made with monkfish, simmered in a flavorful tomato-based broth, and mixed with rice that has been cooked all in the same pot, soaking up the delicious flavors.
