INGREDIENTS

• 4 fresh or frozen 1/2-inch-thick swordfish steaks (about 2 pounds)
• Marinade:
• 1/3 cup tomato paste (half of a 6-ounce can)
• 1/4 cup dry red wine
• 6 cloves garlic, sliced
• 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper or a few dashes bottled hot pepper sauce
• 3 tablespoons snipped cilantro or parsley
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

DIRECTIONS

• Thaw fish steaks, if frozen. Prepare marinade: In a small saucepan combine the tomato paste, wine, garlic and the red pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Press through a sieve; discard garlic. Stir in cilantro and olive oil; cool to room temperature.
• Place fish in a shallow baking dish; brush some of the cooled marinade over fish. Marinate fish for 30 minutes at room temperature.
• Grill fish on a covered grill directly over medium-hot briquets for 4 minutes; brush with marinade. Turn and cook 3 to 5 minutes more or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Brush again with the marinade. Transfer to serving platter.
