Swordfish a la Siciliana

I found this flavorful swordfish recipe on Allrecipes. Since I've been cooking more Mediterranean based dishes I have olives and capers in my refrigerator on a regular basis. I always have olive oil, onion and garlic and I had raisins from the broccoli salad I made. We have a local farm stand with fresh tomatoes, so the rest was easy!
My husband, who insisted he doesn't like raisins enjoyed them in this dish. As you can see, I served it with asparagus, another of our favorite vegetables.

 

 





Swordfish a la Siciliana

2 ounces raisins
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
2/3 small onion, minced
2/3 clove garlic, minced
5 ounces ripe tomatoes, diced (slightly more than 1/2 cup)
6-7 green olives, pitted and minced (I used Spanish olives)
1 1/2 ounces pine nuts
2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons capers
1 1/4 lbs. Swordfish steaks
Salt and pepper to taste

Soak the raisins in lukewarm water for thirty minutes. Drain. Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over high heat and saute onion and garlic until soft. Stir in the raisins. tomatoes, olives, pine nuts and capers. Cover, reduce heat to medium and cook 15 minutes.

Season the swordfish with salt and pepper. Place in lightly oiled baking dish and cover with cooked sauce. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until steaks are firm.

Serves 4

Easy Recipes for Cookouts and BBQ's
Everybody enjoys a BBQ or a cookout. It's a great time to get together with family and friends enjoy great weather, outdoor entertaining, great company and great food. Part of the fun of a BBQ or cook out for our family and friends is sharing homemade dishes. Everybody brings something different, along with the recipe.

Green Beans with Ginger Butter
A fabulous Thanksgiving or Christmas side dish. One of my very favorite side dishes for Thanksgiving. My family loves it. It's quick and easy and I guarantee you'll get rave reviews. I cut this recipe out of a Gourmet magazine many years ago. Green beans with ginger butter Salt 2 pounds haricots verts or other green beans, trimmed 3-inch-long piece fresh ginger 3 tablespoons unsalted butter Finely grated lemon zest from 1/2 lemon.

Green Bean Salad, Provençal
This is an amazingly easy and tasty salad to showcase lovely haricots verts from the cookbook Simca's Cuisine by Simone "Simca" Beck. The French flair of this salad is unmistakable. We never knew that French cuisine could be so unfussy. We've made this salad many times but tend to enjoy it best when we can also showcase other produce grown right in our garden. We use our homegrown tomatoes, fennel, and basil.
