Ingredients:

Serving

6 pickling cucumbers, ends trimmed and peeled
salt
2 bunches cilantro, leaves only
3 oz achiote paste
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
8 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 1/2 tbsp black peppercorns
2 lb skinless swordfish fillet
2 bunches red chard, stemmed, and cut into large pieces
1/2 cup lime olive oil dressing, recipe follows
lime olive oil dressing
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise and then slice across the width into 1/2-inch half moons. Sprinkle with salt and let sit in a colander for 20 to 30 minutes. Combine the cilantro, Achiote, orange juice, lime juice, garlic and peppercorns in a blender. Puree until smooth. Cut the swordfish into 1 1/2-inch chunks and place in a nonreactive bowl. Pour over the cilantro marinade and let sit 20 to 30 minutes. Preheat the grill or broiler. Grill chard, transfer to a large bowl and toss with lime dressing. Thread alternating swordfish and cucumber chunks on skewers. Grill or broil about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Line a serving platter or plates with the chard. Top with the skewers and serve.
Whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, salt and pepper. Serve.
