Winter 2000
Walnut and Brie Stuffed Swordfish Steak with a Carrot and Pear Slaw. (Serves 6)
For the stuffing:
- 10 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed
- 1 bunch fresh sage, chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- Mix all ingredients well.
For the vinaigrette:
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 orange, zested. Chop remainder of orange and combine with the zest.
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1/3 cup blended salad oil
- 1/4 cup cider vinegar
For the slaw:
- 3 carrots, julienne cut
- 4 pears, julienne cut
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- Toss all ingredients well with half of the vinaigrette.
Warm oil and cinnamon stick together to infuse flavors for approximately 1 hour. Let cool and remove stick. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Store in a covered container overnight.
For the swordfish:
6 eight-ounce swordfish steaks, cut thick.
Cut each steak on the flesh side to form a pocket. (Thick cut steaks will make this easier.) Stuff each steak with equal amounts of stuffing. Charbroil each steak for 2 to 3 minutes per side, so they are well grill marked. Place steaks into a shallow pan and bake in a 375-degree oven for 5 to 6 minutes. Place slaw in the center of the plate and top with swordfish. Drizzle with remaining vinaigrette.
