- Olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Grilled Caponata, recipe follows
- 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.
