Instructions:

Cut the monkfish fillet into 8 medallions, season with salt, season with pepper and drizzle with juice of one lemon. Sizzle in butter over medium heat on both sides until just flat.

Put the lobsters, heads first, into the bubbling broth, put the lid on and cook on the stove for one minute. Then remove from the heat and cook for 20 minutes. Take out the lobster, let it cool down a little bit and remove the meat from the glass shells.
