Herbed Swordfish And Shiitake Kebabs Recipes

GRILLED VEGETABLE AND SWORDFISH KEBABS

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.

DESSERT KIDDIE KEBABS

Steps:

• Assemble six skewers as follows: 1 strawberry, 1 marshmallow, 1 brownie bite and 1 strawberry (to cover the pointed end of the skewer). Place skewers on a serving platter and drizzle generously with chocolate syrup.

SWORDFISH KEBABS

Steps:

• Whisk first 6 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Add fish and refrigerate at least 1 and up to 4 hours.
• Preheat barbecue (medium heat) or preheat broiler. Drain fish, reserving marinade. Thread fish on skewers alternately with onions, green and bell peppers and mushrooms. Arrange skewers on grill. Grill until swordfish is just cooked through, brushing skewers frequently with marinade, about 5 minutes.

SWORDFISH KEBABS WITH MINT PESTO

Steps:

• Put the fish cubes in a bowl. Soak eight 8-inch wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the pesto: Put the almonds and garlic in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the mint, parsley and lemon zest and pulse until finely ground. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and whisk in the olive oil; loosen with 1 tablespoon water, if needed. Season the pesto with salt, pepper and the red pepper flakes, if using. Pour about one-third of the pesto over the swordfish and toss to evenly coat. Reserve the remaining pesto for serving. Refrigerate the swordfish for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Skewer 3 or 4 chunks of swordfish on each skewer. Grill, turning once, until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drizzle the skewers with the reserved pesto and serve with lemon wedges.

GRILLED MARINATED VEGETABLE KEBABS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir ingredients together until smooth.
• Preheat grill or broiler.
• Thread vegetables onto wooden or metal skewers. If you use wooden ones, soak them in water for 1 to 2 hours before using to keep them from burning. You can make single vegetable skewers or use an assortment on each skewer.
• Lightly brush each skewer with marinade. Broil 4 to 6-inches from heat, 5 minutes per side or until browned or lightly charred and tender. If desired, serve with extra marinade for dipping.

SHIITAKE MUSHROOM ADOBO

Steps:

• Bring 1 quart of water to a boil. Place the dried shiitake In a medium heatproof bowl and pour the boiling water over to rehydrate the mushrooms. Cover with a plate to retain heat and steep the mushrooms for about 15 minutes. Drain the mushrooms, squeezing out and reserving any excess liquid in a separate bowl. Set the mushrooms aside until cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes. Remove each mushroom stem from its cap and discard the stems.
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onion, lower the heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the mushrooms and reserved liquid, soy sauce, sugar or agave nectar, bay leaves and 1 teaspoon pepper. Cook over medium heat until the liquid has reduced by half, about 25 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and cook until well combined and the flavor has melded, about 5 minutes more. Serve with jasmine rice.

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Cut green pepper into 16 pieces.
• Thread each skewer with fish, pineapple, and bell pepper pieces.
• Cook kebabs on the preheated grill until fish is just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
