  • 1 red capsicum, roasted, peeled, seeded, thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow capsicum, roasted, peeled, seeded, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 small red chilli, seeded, thinly sliced
  • 2 large garlic cloves, crushed
  • 150ml extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to brush
  • 20ml (1 tbsp) lemon juice
  • 4 portions of swordfish portions (about 150g each)
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine saffron threads with two tablespoons of warm water and let it sit for five minutes to infuse.
  2. In a pan, combine the tomato, roasted capsicum, ground coriander, ground cumin, sliced chilli, crushed garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and the saffron with its soaking liquid. Heat gently until warmed through.
  3. Preheat a chargrill or non-stick frying pan over high heat. Season the swordfish portions, brush with olive oil, and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, ensuring the centre remains slightly rare.
  4. Transfer the cooked swordfish to serving plates. Stir the fresh herbs into the sauce and divide it among the plates to serve.
