Ripe beefsteak tomatoes add wonderful flavor to this delicious Sicilian sauce. Fresh tuna or halibut can be substituted for the swordfish if you prefer.*
 

Ingredients

2 large tomato(es), beefsteak, cut into chunks (about 1 1/4 lbs)   
1 cup(s) parsley, fresh, leaves   
2 Tbsp olive oil, divided   
2 medium garlic clove(s)   
1 tsp dried oregano   
1/2 tsp table salt, divided   
1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground, divided   
1 1/4 pound(s) swordfish fillet(s), about 1-inch thick, cut into 24 chunks   
2 small yellow pepper(s), cut into 12 chunks each   
1 medium red onion(s), cut into 6 wedges and each wedge cut in half   
1 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise and then cut crosswise 6 times   
2 cup(s) cooked whole wheat couscous, kept warm   

Instructions

  • Preheat grill or grill pan.

  • To make sauce, place tomatoes, parsley, 1 tablespoon of oil, garlic, oregano and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a food processor; pulse until tomato is finely chopped. Set aside.

  • Thread 2 pieces each of swordfish and yellow pepper, and 1 piece each of onion and zucchini onto each of twelve 8-inch metal skewers. (Note: If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water 30 minutes before use to prevent charring.) Brush kabobs with remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.

  • Grill skewers, turning as needed, until lightly charred and fish is just cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Serve kabobs over couscous with the sauce on the side. Yields 3 kabobs, 1/2 cup of couscous and about 1/2 cup of sauce per serving.
