There is no sincerer love than the love of Italian food
Parlato's Catering usually likes to grill our swordfish steak after lightly breading them and cutting the slices thinly, but these steaks were so gorgeous we decided to leave them be. We also found some of the first locally grown, ripe tomatoes that I decided to serve with the grilled swordfish steaks. This is an effortless dish that shows you when your ingredients are top quality and very fresh, that you do not need too many extras. We like to add Calabrian peppers and just enough to the dressing for this dish that it added just a little heat. This swordfish meal is perfect with a bottle of Umbrian white wine from Peppucci cantina.
