Swordfish Involtini With Steamed Spinach

Recipe Ingredients

3 tablespoons	45ml	Extra-virgin olive oil
2		Garlic cloves - thinly sliced
1/2 cup	118ml	Pine nuts
1 cup	146g / 5.1oz	Finely-chopped italian parsley
2 tablespoons	30ml	Freshly-ground black pepper
1 lb	454g / 16oz	Center-cut swordfish - sliced into 4
		Four-ounce pieces, each 1/4" thick
2 cups	474ml	Basic Tomato Sauce - (see recipe)
1 tablespoon	15ml	Hot chili flakes
1/2 cup	118ml	Dry white wine
1/4 cup	10g / 0.4oz	Mint leaves - (loosely packed)

Recipe Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

In a 12- to 14-inch saute pan, heat oil until smoking. Add garlic and cook until lightly golden-brown, about 30 seconds. Add pine nuts and cook, stirring constantly until toasted golden-brown, about three to four minutes. Remove from heat, stir in parsley flakes and black pepper and allow to cool.

Lay swordfish pieces out on counter and divide pine nut mixture among them. Carefully roll each piece like a jellyroll and secure with a toothpick.

In a 12- to 14-inch oven-proof saute pan, heat tomato sauce, chili flakes and wine until boiling. Place involtini in sauce, well separated and place pan in oven. Keep in oven until cooked through, about six to eight minutes.

Remove from oven, sprinkle with mint leaves and serve. (An excellent accompaniment would be simply steamed spinach, dressed with oil and lemon.)

This recipe yields 4 servings.
