Ingredients
- 800 g Swordfish
- 50 g Stale bread
- 50 g Pistachio nuts
- 20 g Green olives
- 10 g Capers
- 10 g Parsley
- 10 ml olive oil
- 5 g Parmesan
- 5 g Garlic
- ½ Lemon zest and juice
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Lets start by preparing the staffing, place the roughly chopped stale bread, garlic, pistachio nuts, parsley, capers ,green olives, parmesan and lemon (zest and juice) in a food processor and blend until a uniform crumb is obtained, taste for seasoning and adjust if needed.
- Arrange the swordfish slices between two cling film layers, then gently pound them until they are a uniform 2/3 mm in thickness
- Remove the top cling film layer, season the swordfish and spoon the staffing evenly on top
- Roll the swordfish steaks in a tube
- Put the griddle pan on the heat, pour the olive oil in a small plate and roll the involtini to coat them evenly.
- Place the sword fish involtini into the hot griddle pan with the end lip on the bottom, this will seal the roll avoiding them opening during the cooking.
- Cook for one minute on each side for a total of four minute, then remove from the heat and cover with aluminium foil or a lid and let it rest for a further two minutes
- Serve hot with a side salad or a side of your choice
