Swordfish With Blood-Orange Stuffing
- Olive oil
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped onion
- 3 cups fresh bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon toasted pine nuts
- 1 tablespoon raisins
- 1/2 cup grated aged pecorino cheese
- 4 blood oranges
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 pounds swordfish, sliced thinly in to 12 compact-disc-size pieces
- In a small skillet over medium heat, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil and the onions, and saute until tender.
- Scrape the onions into a large bowl, and add the bread crumbs, pine nuts, raisins and cheese.
- Finely grate the zest from the oranges and add to the bread crumbs.
- Squeeze in the juice of 1 orange (reserve remaining oranges for other use).
- Mix until it just starts to bind together.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Form a portion of the stuffing into a log about the width and length of a thumb, and then roll into a piece of swordfish.
- Repeat to make 12 rolls.
- To serve, heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
- Add just enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Season the swordfish rolls with a touch of salt and pepper, then add to the pan in batches, turning once or twice so all sides of the rolls are lightly browned.
- If desired, serve with mache salad dressed with a vinaigrette of shallots, zinfandel vinegar and blood-orange-infused olive oil.
