2 x Sun-dried chillies, soaked in boiling water for 15 minutes
1 lrg Garlic clove, peeled
5 ml Caraway seeds, (1tsp)
5 ml Ground coriander, (1tsp)
1/2 ml Cumin seeds, ( 1/2 tsp)
8 x Saffron strands
45 ml Waitrose Olive Oil, (3tbsp)
Generous pinch of sea salt
----------------- THE MARINADE AND FISH ----------------
250 gm Natural yogurt, (9oz)
15 ml Chopped fresh coriander, (1tbsp)
Instructions:
Instructions: Place all the ingredients for the harissa in a small food processor or blender and pulse until smooth.

Mix the harissa paste, yogurt and coriander together in a shallow dish.

Coat the swordfish with marinade, cover and leave in the refrigerator overnight.

Place the swordfish steaks onto a grill rack and cook on the highest level under a preheated grill for 2-3 minutes each side until cooked, depending on the thickness of the steaks.

Serve with couscous or Waitrose Red Leaf Salad.

Variation:
Cut the swordfish steaks into 2.5cm (1in) cubes and marinate as above. Soak 8 wooden skewers in water for at least an hour. De-seed 1 red pepper and 1 yellow pepper and cut into chunks. Peel and quarter 1 red onion and separate the petals. Thread the skewers with cubes of swordfish, pieces of pepper and onion. Cook under a preheated grill for 4-5 minutes, turning frequently.

NOTES : Swordfish is a meaty fish that keeps its shape well when cooked.

Here it is marinated in yogurt and harissa, a traditional Middle Eastern mixture of spices, that gives it a wonderful flavour.
