INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare a fire in an outdoor charcoal grill or preheat a broiler
(griller). In a large pot over high heat, bring the water to a boil.
Cook the pasta (12-15 minutes); drain and toss with 1 tablespoon oil.
Cover and cool completely in the refrigerator, 1-24 hours. To make the
sauce, in the work bowl of a food processor with the metal blade or a
blender, combine the cumin, paprika, turmeric, cayenne, garlic, onion,
cilantro, parsley, lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and
salt and pepper to taste and puree until smooth. Coat the tuna or
swordfish with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Grill the fish
over a medium-hot fire or broil (grill), turning occasionally, until
opaque throughout when pierced with a knife, 64 minutes. Set aside
until the fish is cool enough to handle. Place on a cutting surface
and cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) cubes. In a large bowl, combine the
sauce, orecchiette and fish. Toss to mix well. To serve, place in a
serving bowl or divide among individual plates and garnish with the
lemon wedges. Add tomato slices and lettuce leaves for more color.
