Method

Preparing Swordfish

  1. 1

    Marinate the Swordfish

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the swordfish steaks and coat them well. Let marinate for 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Swordfish

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the swordfish for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until cooked through and slightly charred. Remove from grill and set aside.

Cooking Orzo

  1. 3

    Cook the Orzo

    In a saucepan, bring vegetable broth to a boil. Add orzo pasta and cook according to package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

  2. 4

    Add Cheese and Parsley

    Stir in Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley into the cooked orzo. Keep warm.

Preparing Broccolini

  1. 5

    Sauté the Broccolini

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add broccolini and salt, and cook for 4-5 minutes until tender and bright green.

Making Romesco Sauce

  1. 6

    Blend Romesco Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine roasted red peppers, Marcona almonds, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Preparing White Wine-Saffron Broth

  1. 7

    Simmer the Broth

    In a saucepan, combine white wine, vegetable broth, saffron threads, and bring to a gentle simmer. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Allow to simmer for about 10 minutes.
