Grilled Swordfish, Lisbon Style (Espadarte Grelhado a Losboeta)
"A Portuguese recipe for grilled swordfish with an uncooked tomato-based sauce. From Joyce Goldstein's "The Mediterranean Kitchen", 1989. To convert the sauce to Sephardic "Zemino" sauce, replace the lemon juice with red wine vinegar, double the anchovy, and add 6 (!) minced cloves of garlic."

<p>This site has gotten so horribly bad over the past couple of years, I have stopped using it to manage my recipes and have gone over to using another one, which I have been forbidden to mention on Food.com. It's no secret that there are competitors; send me a message if you are in the same boat and would like to know. For now, I only frequent a few of the forums and that's it. The Titanic has sailed!</p>
