I LOVE very much swordfish. First recipe I like is grilled and then seasoned
with oil, garlic, few salt , pepper and lemon.
2° recipe (very simple). You grill the swordfishsteack and then you season
with oil, garlic , little cubes of fresh tomatoes and fresh rocket.
3° recipe (more complicated) is a very famous recipe: Involtini di pesce
spada alla messinese (messinese swordfish rolls)
For this recipe you need very thin slices of swordfish.
In a frying pan with little oil, put breadcrumbs and let it toast. Then put
it in a bowl and mix with romano cheese, garlic, parsley and capers; salt
and pepper, put also little oil if necessary. Then spread it on the slices
and roll them. Transfix the rolls with a toothpic alternating with bay
leaves and pieces of onion. Put these kebab on the grill. At the end brush
them with few oil and serve.

I hope you like.
