INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large skillet or saute pan, heat half of the butter and oil over high
heat until hot and sizzling. Add half the garlic and saute, stirring
constantly, until it softens, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 2 of the swordfish steaks
and cook for 2 minutes on each side. Remove from pan. Repeat with remaining
ingredients. Serve immediately with the Poblano Sauce.
Yield: 4 servings
Poblano chile sauce: 2 tablespoons lard, butter or vegetable oil 1 medium
onion, chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 8 Poblano chiles (about 1 pound),
roasted, peeled, seeded, and coarsely chopped 1 tablespoon epazote or 3
sprigs fresh cilantro 1 cup chicken stock 1/2 cup heavy cream Salt, to
taste
Heat the fat in a medium-size saucepan over high heat until very hot but
not quite smoking. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring
occasionally, for 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring,
another 3 minutes, or until the onion starts to color. Add the Poblanos and
epazote or cilantro and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, for
another 5 minutes.
Place the mixture in a blender or food processor fitted with the steel
blade, add the chicken stock, and process until smooth, about 1 minute.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat. Add
the cream. Taste for seasoning, add salt if desired, and simmer for 3
minutes.

A Message from our Provider:

“If thankfulness does not move us to serve God, then we do not truly understand who our God is and what He has done in our behalf. Without gratitude for Christ’s sacrificial love, our duty will become nothing more than drudgery and our God nothing more than a dissatisfied boss. #Bryan Chapell”
