"Sweet raisins, sour olives and piquant capers conspire to make this a memorable main dish."

Ingredients:

1 ½ ounces raisins

2 ½ tablespoons olive oil

1/2 small onion, minced

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 pound ripe tomatoes, diced

5 green olives, pitted and minced

1 ounce pine nuts

1/8 cup capers (optional)

1 pound swordfish steaks (can use any other firm white fish – I use Captain Cut Cod Loin)

salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Soak raisins in lukewarm water for 30 minutes. Drain and set aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

2. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan or skillet over high heat. Sauté onion and garlic until soft. Stir in raisins, tomatoes, olives, pine nuts and capers. Cover pan, reduce heat to medium and cook for 15 minutes.

3. Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Place in a lightly oiled baking dish. Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until steaks are firm. Serve fish with sauce on top. (Some people cook the fish with sauce on top)
