The combination of spinach, artichokes and cream cheese is always a crowd pleaser. Add basil and a roasted red pepper sauce, and you have perfection on a fork! To save time, the stuffed beef filling can be made ahead and chilled. You can also make the sauce ahead and reheat it when you are ready to serve. -Noelle Myers, Grand Forks, North Dakota

Provided by Paula Wolfert

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

6 or 12 metal or bamboo skewers
2 1/4 pounds swordfish, cut into 3/4-inch steaks, untrimmed (see notes)
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced onions
1 tablespoon minced carrot
1/2 tablespoon crushed garlic
2 cups grated fresh bread crumbs, preferably Italian semolina
3 heaping tablespoons salted capers, rinsed, plumped and drained (see notes)
5 tablespoons grated pecorino cheese
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind
1 teaspoon finely chopped parsley leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon juice to taste
12 imported bay leaves, cut into halves or quarters
1 small onion, quartered, separated into 1-inch segments
Pinches of granulated sugar
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons hot water
2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1/2 teaspoon fresh oregano or thyme
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian flat parsley

Steps:

  • Cut off and discard swordfish skin and center bone. Cut each fish steak into pieces approximately three by three by three-quarter inches thick. Cut each piece horizontally into three even slices, making 24 swordfish slices.
  • Reserve and chop any trimmings for the stuffing. Place each slice between sheets of oiled waxed paper. Use a flat mallet to gently pound them (see notes). They should become about one-third larger in size. Avoid breaking the flesh. Keep fish refrigerated between sheets of waxed paper or plastic wrap.
  • To make the caper stuffing, place oil, swordfish trimmings, vegetables and garlic in a large skillet and cook one minute or until the vegetables are soft but not brown. Add bread crumbs to the skillet and mix well over low heat, 30 seconds. Scrape into a clean bowl; add the remaining ingredients and, if necessary, one to two tablespoons water to help bind the mixture.
  • Place slices on work surface. Evenly divide stuffing and place a portion of the filling on each slice. Roll up one slice, press in sides, then squeeze gently to form the shape of a stuffed grape leaf (see notes). Repeat with the remaining slices. Slip a small piece of bay leaf and an onion segment on either side of each roll. Thread rolls onto skewers. If necessary, fasten any openings with toothpicks. Brush rolls with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with granulated sugar (to develop a good color when broiled). Refrigerate until ready to cook.
  • To make the salmoriglio sauce, combine the first eight ingredients in a blender jar and blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into a sauce boat. Stir in the parsley. Adjust seasoning. Can be prepared in advance to this point.
  • Cook over charcoal or very close to heated broiler about one and one-half minutes to a side. Baste with the salmoriglio sauce and serve at once.

SICILIAN STUFFED SWORDFISH ROLLS



SICILIAN STUFFED SWORDFISH ROLLS image

Categories     Fish     Poach     Vegetarian

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup grated pecorino or Parmigiano cheese
1 cup Bread crumbs, toasted (I toast them in a frying pan w/ a tiny bit of olive oil)
2 tablespoons capers, coarsely chopped
¼ cup currants or small raisins
¼ cup pine nuts
8 gaeta, calamata or sundried black olives, pitted and finely chopped
¼ cup chopped parsley
Freshly ground black pepper
5 to 6 tablespoons olive oil
6 large slices swordfish, about ¼ inch thick
All purpose flour for dredging
About 3 cups plain marinara sauce

Steps:

  • In a medium size bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients. Lay out the fish slices and spread the stuffing mixture evenly over them. Drizzle with approximately 2 tablespoons olive oil. Roll each fish slice so it resembles a cigar, and secure it with a toothpick or a skewer or tie it with string. Dredge the rolls in flour. In a frying pan large enough to hold the fish comfortably, heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil until hot and brown the rolls lightly, turning them one or twice. This should take 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully pour the marinara sauce all over the fish rolls and simmer gently, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the fish just flakes when tested with a fork. Turn once during the cooking in the sauce. Serve and Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For the perfect balance of flavors, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
  • Choose swordfish steaks that are about 1 inch thick and evenly cut.
  • To make the stuffing, use a combination of breadcrumbs, herbs, and vegetables. For a richer flavor, add some grated Parmesan cheese or crumbled feta.
  • Be careful not to overstuff the swordfish rolls, or they will be difficult to cook evenly.
  • To prevent the rolls from falling apart, use toothpicks or skewers to secure them.
  • For a crispy coating, fry the rolls in hot oil until golden brown.
  • Alternatively, you can bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 15 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • Serve the swordfish rolls with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, pesto, or tartar sauce.

Conclusion:

Italian stuffed swordfish rolls are a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With their tender fish, flavorful stuffing, and crispy coating, these rolls are sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a seafood recipe that is both delicious and easy to make, give Italian stuffed swordfish rolls a try. You won't be disappointed!
