Grill cuisine is all about fresh, simple and intense natural flavors. Grilling, Italian style includes the use of olive oil, lemon, garlic, basil, oregano and balsamic. These ingredients bring a new train of thought to our American BBQ scene. What is new here, has stood the test of time in Italy.Grilling has been popular in Italy for many, many years. As with all the cuisine in Italy, every region has it's own specialties and recipes.
If you go to Sicily, you must try the swordfish! There are many recipe variations, but the idea is not to hide the flavor but to enhance the flavor.
Here's a simple recipe to bring that flavor to your table.
2 Lbs swordfish steaks (at least 3/4" thick)
1/4 Cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 Cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 Tablespoons + 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (preferably flat-leaf)
1 Tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
Salt & Pepper to taste
Combine marinade ingredients. Pour over fish and let marinate for about 4 hours. Bring fish out of refrigerator about 20 minutes before grilling. Turn grill on medium high. Put swordfish on grill and baste with marinade until just cooked and grill marks appear. Should take about 6 minutes per side. Garnish with reserved chopped parsley.
