  • 1 pint — Cheery tomatoes
  • 4 — Garlic cloves, skins removed
  • 2 — Red bell peppers, roasted, skins and seeds removed
  • 2 tsp. —Smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp. — Coriander
  • 1 tsp. — Cumin
  • 1 tsp. — Oregano
  • 1/4 cup + 3 tbsp — Olive oil
  • 1/2 cup — Silverado almonds, toasted
  • 1/2 cup — Toasted bread crumbs
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tbsp. — Red wine vinegar
  • Kosher Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. On a medium-sized, rimmed baking sheet, combine the tomatoes, onion, garlic, spices and 2 Tablespoons olive oil. Season with Kosher salt and pepper and toss well to coat. Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 30-40 minutes, until vegetables are soft and caramelized.
  3. Add the toasted almonds and croutons to a food processor and pulse until a paste forms. Add the roasted vegetables, 2 Tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, and red wine vinegar and continue to pulse until the sauce is still chunky.
  4. Preheat the grill or grill pan. Rub the swordfish with 2-3 Tablespoons of olive oil and season with Kosher salt and pepper. Once the grill is hot, add the swordfish steaks (you might need to do 2 batches if using a grill pan) and grill over med-high heat until charred and cooked to your desired doneness, approximately 4-5 minutes per side.
  5. Serve each swordfish steak with a dollop of Romesco sauce and any extra served alongside.
