Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Time 2h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/2 cup olive oil, plus more for oiling the grill grates
1 tablespoon grated garlic
1 tablespoon grated ginger
Zest of 1 lemon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds swordfish, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 to 6 mini bell peppers of varying colors
1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces, ends kept on
1 medium zucchini, cut into 3/4-inch-thick rounds
1 cup cherry tomatoes
Juice of 1 lemon
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
8 pieces pita or naan, toasted on the grill
Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

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.

This is a great recipe. When I make the kebabs as a meal I serve them with a loaf of crusty italian bread. Sometimes I grill up some italian sausage to complete the meal. If there are any leftovers I use them in my recipe for pasta sauce. They are also excellent toppings for pizza.
