Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Prepare Potato Skordalia, cover, and set aside until ready to serve.
  2. Preheat a grill to medium-high. Brush the swordfish fillets with the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice. Season both sides with Essence. When the grill is hot grill the fish until medium, about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from the grill and cover to keep warm.
  3. Combine the white beans with red onions, roasted red peppers, lemon zest, cilantro, parsley, extra-virgin olive oil, and remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Adjust seasonings with the salt and pepper, and toss well.
  4. To serve place a grilled fillet on each of 4 dinner plates. Top each with the white bean relish and desired amount of the Potato Skordalia. Garnish with lemon wedges and cilantro sprigs.
  5. Potato Skordalia:
  6. 1 pound boiling (such as red bliss) potatoes, halved with the skin on
  7. 5 garlic cloves
  8. 1 teaspoon salt
  9. 2 tablespoons good-quality red wine vinegar
  10. 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  11. 1 to 1 1/4 cups extra-virgin olive oil
  12. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain well and cool. Peel the potatoes, discarding the skins. Push them through a ricer into a medium bowl and set aside.
  13. Pound the garlic with the salt in a mortar and pestle until smooth. Add the garlic mixture to the potatoes and stir well. Gradually add the vinegar, lemon juice, and the oil, pounding or stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Adjust seasonings with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Add more oil if desired.
  14. Yield: about 3 cups
