Cook the Book: Swordfish Involtini Sicilian-Style
Tomato salads are one of the best parts of summer eating. What could be better, or easier, than a perfectly ripe, sliced beefsteak topped with nothing more than a drizzle of olive oil and a shower of salt and pepper?
Well, maybe a tomato salad à la Mario Batali.
In today’s Cook the Book recipe for Swordfish Involtini Sicilian-Style, excerpted from Mario Batali Italian Grill, rolls of citrus-stuffed swordfish are served a top a tomato salad filled with the traditional Sicilian flavors of capers, pine nuts, olives, and currants.
This dish exemplifies warm-weather cooking at its best: quick and simple, it lets the superior quality of seasonal ingredients shine through.
