Step aside, marinara. There’s a new sauce in town, and it’s blissfully fresh with fennel and basil. TV-inspired and husband-adored, it would be a crime not to share this one. —Laurel Dalzell, Manteca, California

Prep/Total Time: 25 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

15 10 25

Ingredients

1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 fennel bulb, halved and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 can (28 ounces) whole tomatoes, drained
2 tablespoons chicken broth
2 tablespoons white wine
3/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup loosely packed basil leaves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon butter
FISH:
4 swordfish steaks (8 ounces each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

In a large skillet, saute onion and fennel in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the tomatoes, broth, wine, pepper and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Stir in basil and butter. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Brush steaks with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill swordfish, covered, over medium-hot heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until fish just turns opaque. Serve with tomato mixture. Yield: 4 servings.
