Sicilian swordfish with pine nuts and raisins

Alternatively, you can also prepare Sicilian swordfish with pine nuts and raisins. First of all it will be necessary to soak the raisins for about 20 minutes . In the meantime, you can start toasting the pine nuts in a pan until they become slightly browned (you can also skip this step, but this way there will be some crunchiness in the dish!). After that, add capers, olives, cherry tomatoes, aromatic herbs, pine nuts, raisins to the pan and proceed as per the recipe.

storage

This slice of fish should be eaten at the moment , just after cooking the swordfish. If you really don't manage to finish it, you can keep it in the fridge for a maximum of half a day, well covered in transparent film, and heat it in a pan with a drop of water before serving. We do not recommend freezing in the freezer.
