Recipe of the Week

Makes 4 Servings

Ingredients

TAPENADE

4 ounces (¾ cup) oil-cured black olives or brine-cured such as (Kalamata), pitted

1 clove garlic

1 teaspoon capers, drained

6 anchovies in oil, drained

3 tablespoons olive oil

Grated rind of ½ orange

1. In a blender or food processor, place the olives, garlic, capers,
anchovy, and olive oil.

2. Pulse the mixture until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and fold in the
orange rind.

SALAD 

Salt and pepper, to taste

16 green beans, stemmed, cut into ¼-inch pieces

16 cherry tomatoes, halved

6 radishes, very thinly sliced

2 stems fresh basil, leaves cut into ribbons

4 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Juice of 1 lemon

1. Bring a small saucepan of water with a pinch of salt to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2 minutes, or until they are tender but still have some bite. Drain and rinse with cold water. Pat dry with paper towels and place in a salad bowl.

2. Add the tomatoes, radishes, basil, mustard, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of the tapenade, salt, and pepper; fold together.

FISH

2 tablespoons canola oil

2 pounds swordfish, 1 to 1½ inches thick, cut into 4 pieces

Pinch kosher salt

1 teaspoon course ground black pepper

Few sprigs fresh basil, leaves thinly sliced1lemon, cut into wedges

1. Light a charcoal grill or turn a gas grill to medium.

2. Use a paper towel to rub a small amount of canola oil on the grill grates to help prevent the fish from sticking. Rub the swordfish with the remaining canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

3. When the coals are hot, grill the fish for 5 minutes on a side, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the fish registers 145 degrees.

4. Divide the fish among 4 plates, add salad and a spoonful of tapenade, and sprinkle with basil. Serve with lemon.
