187. Swordfish in crust
EMPERADOR EN PAN
Take the swordfish, and being well-cleaned and washed, cut it into
pieces or rounds; and make the empanadas in the manner that you wish;
and take the spices which are long pepper, and ginger, and salt, all
well-ground, and cast it upon the rounds of the swordfish. And being
put into its empanadas with its spices, and its preparation, let it go
to the oven to cook. And when they wish to eat, cast a little juice
of oranges or unripe grapes, mixed with rosewater, and before putting
it in the oven, cast on a little oil.
188. Swordfish in casserole
EMPERADOR EN CAZUELA
After cleaning and washing the swordfish well, make of it slices or
rounds as thick as two fingers; and take spices well-mixed with good
herbs which are moraduj which is marjoram, and parsley, and mint, and
set it to cook over the coals or in the oven; and when it begins to
boil, cast in blanched almonds and raisins. And let everything cook
together, and cast in a little verjuice or orange juice. But before
it is put in the oven, cast in a little oil.
189. Swordfish on the grill
EMPERADOR EN PARRILLAS
Cut the swordfish as if you were going to roast it, and remove
everything that is inside; and set it to roast on the grill, greasing
it with oil, little by little. Then make your light sauce which is
orange juice, and pepper, and oil, and salt, and a little water; and
you will put all this in a small pot, and when they want to eat, put
it on a plate; and cast on the said sauce with the other herbs:
parsley, and mint, and marjoram.
