We start by filling: mix in a bowl the breadcrumbs, grated pecorino (or mature cheese of your choice) parsley and finely chopped capers, a pinch of salt and pepper- Add to the mixture as much olive oil as necessary to make a soft dough but grainy. Taste and adjust salt if necessary: the amount of salt depends on the type of shredded cheese you used, the cheese is salty Parmesan. If you decided to use the tomatoes, which make the stuffing more humid, peel and remove the seeds and vegetation water, then add them to the stuffing.

Dice the cheese small (you can also use a provolone or provolone, provided that a not too hard cheese and cooked to melt).

Arrange the slices of swordfish on the work surface. Put on each slice a little’ of stuffing and some diced cheese. Fold the long sides of the slices of swordfish inward, then roll the slices on itself from the short side until they form a well-closed bundle as you see in the VIDEO RECIPE.
