 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  6                    Swordfish steaks
                       -(each about 1/2 lb
                       -and about 1 inch thick)
  1       lg           Sweet red pepper
  2                    Lemons
  3       tb           Oregano, fresh
  1       c            Olive oil
  1       t            Salt
    1/2   ts           Black pepper,
                       -fresh ground
                       White wine, dry

 Remove seeds and ribs from pepper and cut into 1/4 inch cubes.  Put in a
 bowl and mix well with the juice of the two lemons, the olive oil, salt,
 pepper and the oregano.

 Heat broiler and pour wine to a depth of about 1/8 inch in a broiler pan.
 Lay swordfish steaks in wine and broil for 3 minutes. Pour the seasoned
 lemon, oil and oregano mixture over the fish and cook for 3 to 4 minutes
 more (until fish is cooked through and lightly browned.) Immediately
 transfer fish to a warmed serving dish.

 You may need to reduce the sauce slightly by boiling vigorously and
 stirring for 2 minutes more. Pour sauce over fish and serve.

 NOTES:

 *  Swordfish steaks cooked with sweet red peppers -- This recipe was handed
 out to people buying swordfish at my local fishmonger; I tried it and it
 was delicious. It is also very quick and simple to make.

 *  I served fresh asparagus with this, but any light vegetable would be
 fine. Boiled new potatoes would be nice, too.

 : Difficulty:  easy.
 : Time:  20 minutes.
 : Precision:  no need to measure.
