Method

How to make Argentinean-style griddled swordfish with a spicy-orange chimichurri, pan-roasted peppers and charred sweet potato chips

1) To prepare the chimichurri, place all the ingredients in a food processor and process for 1 to 2 mins until the ingredients are well combined. Can be used immediately, but for best results refrigerate overnight. Remove from the refrigerator 2 hrs before serving, to allow to come to room temperature.

2) Preheat your griddle pan (or outdoor griddle) over medium-high heat. Brush each sweet potato Technique: Slice Cutting a thin piece or pieces from a larger ingredient or dish. You can slice ingredients using a slicing disc fitted inside your food processor. I know this Teach me, please slice generously with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle both sides generously with salt and pepper. Griddle for 3 to 4 mins per side, or until tender when poked with a knife (you want some nice char marks on the potatoes.) You may need to griddle in 2 batches. Place on a baking sheet, wrap with foil and place in a preheated to 95C oven.

3) Next, in a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add 2 tbsp of extra-virgin olive oil. When hot add the yellow peppers and season generously with salt and pepper. Saute until caramelised, about 5 to 6 mins. Add the garlic and saute for an additional 2 mins. Turn the heat off, toss in the toasted pine nuts, basil and oregano and add a pinch more salt and pepper. Stir to combine and keep warm on the stovetop.

4) For the swordfish, again heat your griddle pan (or outdoor griddle) over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of the swordfish generously with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle both sides generously with salt and pepper. Griddle until just cooked through, but still moist, about 3 to 4 mins per side (being careful not to overcook the fish.)

5) To plate, first put 1/4 of the sweet potato Technique: Slice Cutting a thin piece or pieces from a larger ingredient or dish. You can slice ingredients using a slicing disc fitted inside your food processor. I know this Teach me, please slices onto each of 4 warmed plates. Top potatoes with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a tiny pinch of salt. Next, top the sweet potatoes, with 1/4 of the pepper mixture. Then place the swordfish atop that, and spoon a generous amount of the chimichurri over the middle of the fish.

6) To garnish, top the chimichurri with a tiny sprinkling of orange zest, then just a few very thinly Technique: Slice Cutting a thin piece or pieces from a larger ingredient or dish.
