Number Of Ingredients 22

For the fish:
4 cloves garlic, smashed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Juice of 1/2 orange
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
6 6-to-8-ounce skin-on swordfish steaks (about 1/2 inch thick)
Vegetable oil, for brushing
For the potato salad:
1 1/2 pounds small red-skinned potatoes, thinly sliced
Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds, chopped
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces dried chorizo, diced
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley and/or chives
3 stalks celery (with leaves), sliced
1/4 cup piquillo peppers, sliced
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

Prepare the fish: Whisk the garlic, olive oil, orange juice, vinegar, honey, thyme, cumin seeds, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Add the fish and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour.
Meanwhile, make the potato salad: Put the potatoes in a pot and cover with cold water; season with salt. Bring to a boil and cook over medium-high heat until tender, about 20 minutes; drain. Toast the cumin seeds in a medium skillet over medium heat, about1 minute; transfer to a large bowl. Add the olive oil and chorizo to the skillet and cook until the chorizo just begins to sizzle, about 3 minutes. Remove the chorizo with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Remove the skillet from the heat; reserve the drippings.
Add the vinegar and herbs to the bowl with the cumin, then whisk in the chorizo drippings. Add the celery, piquillo peppers, potatoes and chorizo; toss. Season with salt and pepper.
Preheat a grill to high; brush the grates lightly with vegetable oil. Place the swordfish on the grill and brush with some of the marinade from the bowl. Grill until marked on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and continue grilling until just cooked through, about 4 more minutes. Divide among plates and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with the potato salad.

Warm Chicken and Chorizo Salad image

Provided by Clare Ferguson

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 mild or spicy chorizo sausages, about 4 ounces., cut crosswise into coin-shaped slices, or a 6 ounce piece, cut into chunks
12-16 baby zucchini, halved lengthwise, about 10 oz.
1 lb. boneless, skinless, cooked or smoked chicken, cut or pulled into long strips
4 cups loosely packed mixed red and green lettuce leaves
1/2 bunch arugula or watercress
16-20 black olives, about 3 ounces
sprigs of cilantro or flat-leaf parsley
Vinaigrette
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
kosher salt or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Heat a nonstick skillet or stove-top grill pan, add the chorizo slices or chunks, and sauté gently on all sides until the juices run and the edges are slightly crisp. Set aside.
Mix the vinaigrette ingredients together in a small bowl or pitcher. Use some of the mixture to brush the zucchini halves, then add them to the still-hot pan and cook for 5 minutes on each side or until hot and golden.
Put the chicken into a large salad bowl and add the lettuce leaves and olives. Drizzle over the remaining vinaigrette, then add the chorizo and its juices, and the cilantro or parsley. Toss well, then serve immediately with garlic bread, toasted ciabatta, or warmed focaccia.
