South Pacific Swordfish Kabob With Grilled Veggies Food

GRILLED VEGETABLE AND SWORDFISH KEBABS

Steps:

• For the kebabs: Whisk together the olive oil, garlic, ginger, lemon zest and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Put the swordfish in a large bowl. Put the peppers, onions, zucchini and tomatoes in another large bowl. Evenly divide the olive oil mixture between the two bowls and toss to coat. Cover and let marinate for about 30 minutes to 1 hour at room temperature.
• For the garlic aioli: Meanwhile, whisk together the lemon juice, mayonnaise, cilantro, parsley, garlic, mustard, vinegar and hot sauce in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• When the fish and vegetables are ready, preheat a grill over medium-high heat. (If using wooden skewers, soak in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling.)
• Meanwhile, thread the swordfish onto six 12-inch skewers. Thread the peppers, onions, zucchini and tomatoes onto individual skewers.
• Brush the grill grates with oil. Place the kebabs on the grill, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and grill until lightly charred and grill-marked and the swordfish is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• To serve, spread 1 to 2 teaspoons of garlic aioli on top of each pita. Place the swordfish and vegetables on top, drizzle with more garlic aioli, and sprinkle with cilantro and parsley.

SWORDFISH KABOBS WITH BALSAMIC GLAZE

Steps:

• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water in a casserole dish or baking sheet for 30 minutes prior to grilling. Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat; oil the grill grates with olive oil.
• Mix the balsamic, lemon juice and mustard in a small bowl. Add the olive oil in a slow stream while whisking. Season with salt and pepper.
• Thread the fish, fennel and tomatoes onto 8 skewers, alternating between fish and vegetables. There should be roughly 3 pieces of fish per skewer. Season all sides of each skewer with salt and pepper. Brush the balsamic mixture over all the skewers.
• Add the skewers to the grill and cook until there are clear grill marks on the flame side, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip the skewers and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes. Continue to rotate the skewers and cook on each side until all sides are cooked and have a slight char.
• Serve hot!

SWORDFISH

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients, except swordfish, in a bowl and mix together well. Set aside.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high, using mesquite wood. Place swordfish on grill and quickly sear. Dredge swordfish in the white wine mixture and then return to the grill. Cook until desired doneness; fish should be opaque and a knife should slide in easily.
• Remove fish from the heat and serve with fresh vegetables and a starch of choice.

SOUTH PACIFIC SWORDFISH KABOB WITH GRILLED VEGGIES

Steps:

• Marinade for the swordfish: in a large bowl add the following; ½ of lime juice, brown sugar, bourbon, ½ cup soy sauce, sesame seeds, garlic, 3 tbls black pepper, crushed red pepper, green onions, sesame oil, and veggie oil. Mix well with fork. Then pour mix, swordfish, and ½ pineapples into a large plastic bag and make sure the seal is closed tightly. Place in refrigerator for 1-2 hours. For the rice: Bring the six cups of water to a boil with salt and butter, add the rice. Reduce heat to medium low, stir rice, and cover. Cook for 40-50 minutes. Stir occasionally. When done, stir well and set aside until service. If using bamboo skewers soak them in water now, they need about ½ hour of soaking. Bring grill to a med/hi heat about 400 degrees F, also now arrange the bricks. Start preparing the kabobs, lay out the tomatoes, onions, and green peppers and the marinated swordfish and pineapple reserving the marinade itself in a bowl. Build the kabobs by sliding the swordfish, pineapple chunks, and vegetables randomly onto the skewers using onion between each addition. Leave about an inch at each end for easy handling. Lay out all the built kabobs on a large plate. As for the mushrooms and eggplant; slice the stems off the mushrooms and lightly smear each with some olive oil. Sprinkle with pepper. Rub olive oil and pepper into eggplant well. Bring kabobs, eggplant, mushrooms, and bowl of marinade reserve with a paint brush to the grill. Make sure grill is clean and well oiled. Place kabobs suspended between bricks, eggplant, and mushrooms on grill. Baste kabobs delicately with marinade. Grill for 8 minutes then turn everything over. Baste kabobs with remaining marinade and grill for another 6-8 minutes until swordfish is done. Return everything to a large plate for service. For service eat family style with lots of plates and bowls. On the table you will want to have salt, pepper, soy sauce, extra bowl of pineapple, and maybe some hot Asian chilies. Enjoy.
