Ingredients

  • 4 swordfish steaks, 8 ounces each
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • Grilled Caponata, recipe follows

Directions

Heat grill to high. Brush swordfish on both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-well doneness. Remove from the grill and top with some of the Grilled Caponata. Serve.

Grilled Caponata:

1 medium eggplant, sliced lengthwise

1 large red onion, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch thick slices

4 plum tomatoes, halved

Olive oil, for brushing vegetables, plus 1/2 cup

Salt and freshly ground pepper

1/4 cup green olives, chopped

2 tablespoons capers, drained

1/4 cup golden raisins, plumped in hot water and drained

2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Pinch red pepper flakes

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

2 teaspoons honey

3 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Heat grill to high. Brush eggplant, onion slices, and tomatoes with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill the eggplant for 6 to 8 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Grill the onions for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and just cooked through. Grill the tomatoes for 2 minutes per side until charred and slightly soft. Remove the vegetables from the grill and cut into 1/2-inch dice.

Place the vegetables in a medium bowl and add the olives, capers, raisins and pine nuts. Mix together the garlic, red pepper flakes, vinegar, and honey in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Slowly whisk in about 1/2 cup olive oil until dressing is emulsified. Pour the dressing over the vegetables, add the parsley and toss, and let stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.

Yield: 4 servings

    one of my go-to recipies

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I love this. The key to this (as Bobby would say) is grilling the veggies, and leaving most of them (except the eggplant,... but especially the onions) a little al dente. I leave out the raisins and pine nuts, and add a little basil if it's fresh from my herb garden. I also make this with whatever veggies are in season, especially fresh squash and zucchini from the garden. WONDERFUL!!!! And I don't care if it "makes a ton", it's good for a couple days after... love it for breakfast the next day.Read more

    Delicious - but makes a ton!

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    This recipe is a very beautiful, colorful presentation. The sweetness of the raisins is a great compliment to the saltiness... of the capers. Fairly easy to make. My only negative comment is the quantity it makes, about 8 cups of caponata. Way too much for 4 servings. I will definitely make it again, but will cut the recipe by one quarter.Read more
