Instructions
1. Prepare the Mango Sauce
Start by preparing the mango sauce. Peel the ripe mango with a smooth-edged knife and set it aside. Next, peel the fresh ginger and grate it finely into a tall, narrow container. Add the mango to the container along with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Using an immersion blender, blend the ingredients until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Stuffing for the Rolls
For the stuffing, cut the homemade bread into small cubes. Zest the lemon and add it to the bread cubes. Also, add a dash of extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Blend the mixture until it forms fine, uniform crumbs. This will be the filling for your swordfish rolls.
3. Assemble the Swordfish Rolls
Take the swordfish fillets and place them on a flat surface. Spoon about one tablespoon of the prepared bread mixture onto each fillet, spreading it evenly across the surface. Be sure to leave the edges free of stuffing. Gently fold the longer sides of the fillet towards the center, then roll the fillet from the bottom to the top, forming a neat roll.
4. Cook the Rolls
Heat a pan with a splash of extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the swordfish rolls in the pan and cook for a few minutes on each side until they are golden brown and fully cooked. Rotate the rolls slowly, ensuring that they are evenly browned on all sides.
5. Serve
Once cooked, remove the swordfish rolls from the pan and place them on a serving platter. Drizzle with the mango sauce and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve your swordfish rolls with a side of your choice for a delicious and vibrant meal.
Enjoy this light, flavorful dish of swordfish rolls complemented by the tropical sweetness of mango sauce. It’s perfect for any occasion, offering a delightful balance of flavors and textures.
