Ingredients (11)

  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil
  • 4 x 200g swordfish steaks
  • 100g sliced pancetta, cut into matchsticks
  • 2 eschalots, finely chopped
  • 2 x 400g cans cannellini beans, rinsed, drained
  • 2 rosemary sprigs
  • 2/3 cup (160ml) chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley, plus extra to garnish
  • Lemon wedges, to serve

Method

  • 1.
    Slice 2 garlic cloves and mix in a dish with oregano and 2 tablespoons of the oil. Season the fish, then add to the dish and turn to coat in the mixture. Set aside to marinate while you make the beans.
  • 2.
    Finely chop remaining 4 garlic cloves. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add garlic, pancetta and eschalot. Cook, stirring, for 6 minutes until starting to colour. Add beans, rosemary and stock, increase heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes or until stock is almost all absorbed. Remove and discard rosemary sprigs.
  • 3.
    Remove 1 cup of the bean mixture to a bowl, mash roughly with a fork, then return to pan and stir for a further minute. Stir in the parsley and cover to keep warm.
  • 4.
    Heat a chargrill or frypan over high heat. Cook fish for 2 minutes on each side until seared but still pink in the middle, or until done to your liking. Serve the fish on a bed of braised beans. Garnish with extra parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
