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.

CHICKEN OR SWORDFISH KEBABS



Chicken or Swordfish Kebabs image

I can't think of a better destination for chicken tenders than these succulent grilled kebabs. The yogurt marinade works equally well with chicken or with swordfish. The results are unbelievably tender and juicy (as long as you don't overcook them). Serve the kebabs with basmati rice.

Time 4h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders, preferably from hormone- and antibiotic-free chickens, or swordfish steaks, cut in 1-inch pieces
1 to 2 plump garlic cloves (to taste), cut in half, green shoots removedSalt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup plain lowfat yogurt
1 teaspoon curry powder
Seeds from 3 cardamom pods, crushed (optional)
1 tablespoon canola oil
12 cherry tomatoes
1 large red or green pepper, cut in 1-inch squares
1 to 2 garlic cloves (to taste), cut in half, green shoots removed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon toasted cumin seeds, ground (optional)
1 cup drained yogurt
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint or dill

Steps:

  • Season the chicken or swordfish with salt and pepper. Mash the garlic to a paste with 1/4 teaspoon salt in a mortar and pestle. Place the yogurt in a 2-quart bowl and stir in the mashed garlic, another 1/4 teaspoon salt, the curry powder, cardamom, and canola oil. Add the chicken or fish, the tomatoes and the peppers, and toss together. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 3 hours. Meanwhile, if using wooden skewers, soak for 30 minutes or longer.
  • To make the sauce, in a mortar and pestle mash the garlic and salt together to a paste. Stir into the drained yogurt, along with the optional cumin seeds and the mint or dill. Set aside.
  • Prepare a hot charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill for fifteen minutes. Thread the chicken or fish onto skewers, alternating with the peppers and tomatoes. Do not jam the pieces together tightly, but leave a little space between so that the pieces cook evenly. Place on the hot grill. Grill 5 minutes and turn over. Grill fish skewers for another 5 minutes, or until the fish is springy to the touch. Grill chicken for another 7 to 10 minutes, turning onto another side after 5 minutes, or until cooked through but not dry. Remove from the grill and serve, with the yogurt sauce and with basmati rice.

YOGURT-MARINATED SWORDFISH KEBABS



Yogurt-Marinated Swordfish Kebabs image

Tangy parsley-speckled yogurt marinade both flavors and tenderizes succulent grilled swordfish.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers     Finger Food Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

One pound 1-inch-thick swordfish steaks, rinsed and patted dry, cut into 24 cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 8-ounce container plain nonfat yogurt, 4 tablespoons reserved
2 tablespoons roughly chopped parsley
8 metal skewers
8 red cherry tomatoes
4 yellow cherry tomatoes
4 scallions, halved, then sliced

Steps:

  • Season the fish with salt and pepper. Combine the yogurt and 1 tablespoon parsley in a shallow baking dish and add the fish, turning to coat. Marinate the fish for 15 minutes at room temperature or for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  • Meanwhile, combine the reserved yogurt and remaining parsley in a small bowl and mix well.
  • Thread the skewers, alternating the fish, tomatoes, and scallions.
  • Prepare a stove-top griddle or outdoor grill. Grill the kebabs 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until opaque. Serve with a dollop of the yogurt sauce.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality swordfish steaks. This will ensure that your kebabs are flavorful and juicy.
  • Cut the swordfish steaks into 1-inch pieces. This will help them cook evenly on the skewers.
  • Marinate the swordfish steaks in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs. This will help to infuse them with flavor and keep them moist during cooking.
  • Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help to prevent them from burning on the grill.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This will help to sear the swordfish steaks and prevent them from sticking to the grill.
  • Grill the swordfish kebabs for 8-10 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Be sure to turn the kebabs frequently to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Serve the swordfish kebabs immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular options include grilled vegetables, rice, or salad.

Conclusion:

Swordfish kebabs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. By following these tips, you can ensure that your kebabs are flavorful, juicy, and cooked to perfection. So fire up your grill and get cooking!
