Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Time 2h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/2 cup olive oil, plus more for oiling the grill grates
1 tablespoon grated garlic
1 tablespoon grated ginger
Zest of 1 lemon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds swordfish, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 to 6 mini bell peppers of varying colors
1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces, ends kept on
1 medium zucchini, cut into 3/4-inch-thick rounds
1 cup cherry tomatoes
Juice of 1 lemon
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
8 pieces pita or naan, toasted on the grill
Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the kebabs: Whisk together the olive oil, garlic, ginger, lemon zest and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Put the swordfish in a large bowl. Put the peppers, onions, zucchini and tomatoes in another large bowl. Evenly divide the olive oil mixture between the two bowls and toss to coat. Cover and let marinate for about 30 minutes to 1 hour at room temperature.
  • For the garlic aioli: Meanwhile, whisk together the lemon juice, mayonnaise, cilantro, parsley, garlic, mustard, vinegar and hot sauce in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • When the fish and vegetables are ready, preheat a grill over medium-high heat. (If using wooden skewers, soak in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling.)
  • Meanwhile, thread the swordfish onto six 12-inch skewers. Thread the peppers, onions, zucchini and tomatoes onto individual skewers.
  • Brush the grill grates with oil. Place the kebabs on the grill, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and grill until lightly charred and grill-marked and the swordfish is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
  • To serve, spread 1 to 2 teaspoons of garlic aioli on top of each pita. Place the swordfish and vegetables on top, drizzle with more garlic aioli, and sprinkle with cilantro and parsley.

CHICKEN OR SWORDFISH KEBABS



Chicken or Swordfish Kebabs image

I can't think of a better destination for chicken tenders than these succulent grilled kebabs. The yogurt marinade works equally well with chicken or with swordfish. The results are unbelievably tender and juicy (as long as you don't overcook them). Serve the kebabs with basmati rice.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders, preferably from hormone- and antibiotic-free chickens, or swordfish steaks, cut in 1-inch pieces
1 to 2 plump garlic cloves (to taste), cut in half, green shoots removedSalt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup plain lowfat yogurt
1 teaspoon curry powder
Seeds from 3 cardamom pods, crushed (optional)
1 tablespoon canola oil
12 cherry tomatoes
1 large red or green pepper, cut in 1-inch squares
1 to 2 garlic cloves (to taste), cut in half, green shoots removed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon toasted cumin seeds, ground (optional)
1 cup drained yogurt
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint or dill

Steps:

  • Season the chicken or swordfish with salt and pepper. Mash the garlic to a paste with 1/4 teaspoon salt in a mortar and pestle. Place the yogurt in a 2-quart bowl and stir in the mashed garlic, another 1/4 teaspoon salt, the curry powder, cardamom, and canola oil. Add the chicken or fish, the tomatoes and the peppers, and toss together. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 3 hours. Meanwhile, if using wooden skewers, soak for 30 minutes or longer.
  • To make the sauce, in a mortar and pestle mash the garlic and salt together to a paste. Stir into the drained yogurt, along with the optional cumin seeds and the mint or dill. Set aside.
  • Prepare a hot charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill for fifteen minutes. Thread the chicken or fish onto skewers, alternating with the peppers and tomatoes. Do not jam the pieces together tightly, but leave a little space between so that the pieces cook evenly. Place on the hot grill. Grill 5 minutes and turn over. Grill fish skewers for another 5 minutes, or until the fish is springy to the touch. Grill chicken for another 7 to 10 minutes, turning onto another side after 5 minutes, or until cooked through but not dry. Remove from the grill and serve, with the yogurt sauce and with basmati rice.
