Method

For the Jerk-Spiced Grilled Swordfish

  1. 1

    Marinate the Swordfish

    In a bowl, combine jerk seasoning, olive oil, lime juice, and salt. Mix well. Add the swordfish steaks and coat them evenly with the marinade. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Swordfish

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated swordfish steaks on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through and has grill marks. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

For the Curried Carrots

  1. 3

    Prepare the Carrots

    Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced carrots and sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

  2. 4

    Add Curry and Coconut Milk

    Stir in the curry powder and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Then add the coconut milk, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, until the carrots are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.

For the Zarda Rice

  1. 5

    Rinse the Rice

    In a fine mesh strainer, rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming sticky.

  2. 6

    Cook the Rice

    In a pot, combine rinsed rice, water, sugar, salt, saffron threads, and cardamom pods. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.
