INSTRUCTIONS
In a heavy skillet cook the carrots and the leeks with salt and pepper
to taste in 1 tablespoon of the butter over moderate heat, stirring,
for 10 minutes, or until the carrots are crisp-tender, and keep the
mixture warm. In a small bowl stir together the remaining 1 tablespoon
butter, the zest, the gingerroot, and salt and pepper to taste. Fold 2
pieces of 20- by 12-inch foil in half by bringing the short ends
together, unfold each piece, and arrange a swordfish steak, seasoned
with salt and pepper, just to one side of each fold line. Top the
swordfish with the vegetable mixture and dot it with the butter
mixture. Fold the foil over the swordfish steaks with the vegetable
mixture to enclose them, fold the edges of the foil together to form
tightly sealed packets, and bake the packets on a baking sheet in a
preheated 450F. oven for 10 minutes. Open the packets carefully,
transfer the swordfish steaks with vegetables mixture to plates, and
pour the juices over them, discarding the foil. Serves 2. Gourmet
