In fact in Messina chops are cooked on the grill, and then flooded with the 'sarmorigghiu', the salmoriglio - Wikipedia, that is, a tasty dip in extra virgin olive oil, Salt, lemon juice and oregano. Le braciolette, or rolls, Swordfish, also they are often prepared 'a ghiotta'. That is within a sauce made with capers, onions, celery, green olives and tomato, also typical of Messina.

The cutting of swordfish and the filling of messina braciolettes
Unfortunately, the right cut to prepare the swordfish chops, that part of the abdomen (die) which it is more fat the rest of the fish, It is unknown outside Sicily. Is’ the triangular-shaped one that you see in this VIDEO. You just have to find a fish shop where a saint will cut the swordfish into very thin slices, then cut you in half and groped the fate. The filling of swordfish chops is traditional: garlic, breadcrumbs, parsley, extra virgin olive oil, Sicilian Style canestrato, chopped capers, a few pieces of tomato that makes it more moist stuffing (Optional) and a few pieces of caciocavallo (Optional, just for those who love cheese). Is. if you want to try the traditional chops, Mexican meat, watch the VIDEO TUTORIAL and have fun experimenting with this recipe.
The cooking of messina swordfish braciolettes
Traditionally, swordfish braciolettes at Messina are cooked on the grill, but you can safely cook them on the grill after being anointed with a little’ extra virgin olive oil. Alternatively, you can cook in the oven, but in this case I suggest the breaded cutlets with a little’ of the filling that will surely advance. So it will be more protected from the heat, otherwise they will dry too: cooking should be carried out in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for 10-12 minutes. If you prefer, You can be breaded swordfish cutlets with a little’ of stuffing also made with grilling.
While we're at, I suggest you also try the pistachio version you see in the picture. Put some’ chopped pistachio inside the filling and add a little’ chopped pistachios to the stuffing that will advance. Grease the swordfish chops with a little’ of extra virgin olive oil and put them in the stuffing Advanced. The perfect outline? Obviously we stay in Sicily: in autumn and winter l’Orange and Fennel Salad, while in the spring and summer’salad Pantelleria.

Ada Bonjour
I caught a swordfish and cook it I immediately came to mind this recipe.
The friends that I invited him for dinner tomorrow night appreciated the proposal of chops Messina commenting 'is, those with raisins'.
Now I would not let them down and then I thought to add to your recipe raisins and pine nuts.
What do you think ?
Hi Max, Total first envy for having caught a swordfish. Me'll dream tonight. We come to the chops: The swordfish chops Messina have raisins and pine nuts in any way,. The Palermo version of our chops, they do it because they have obviously become famous, It has raisins and pine nuts because they are typical of the cuisine of Palermo. Now, I do not like in the chops because they give a flavor of which dolciaastro swordfish does not need, but for taste. Now I suggest you make them in both versions and let your guest judge. Let me know!
Made with and without raisins and pine nuts. Appreciate both. One flaw is that I have exceeded the amount of stuffing, or maybe I cut the slices too thin, so the flavor of the swordfish was lost a bit compared to the filling.
Next time I will correct the error
Hi Max, I'm happy. You probably cut too thin fish. But as surely draw you do happen to another. ADA
