Chargrilled swordfish with pesto trapanese

Fish second courses Italian cuisine

Grill

To me Sicilian recipes take the best of the land and the sea and combine them with Arabic flavors to produce bold tastes unique to the island. This is my interpretation using all three elements. The charred fish works so well with the bright fresh flavors in this pesto of raw cherry tomatoes and almonds. Which is the lesser known but traditional style pesto in the town of Trapani. The roasted tomatoes may not be traditional, but they add a luscious element to the textures here.
