Swordfish Rolls Stuffed with Zucchini - Involtini di Pesce Spada con Zucchine

Once in a while, I like to propose tasty, light dishes without sacrificing the flavors and aromas of good food.  In March, I posted Barley and Vegetable Soup.  Today, I am suggesting another ideal recipe in order to eat light without sacrificing the palate.

Remove the skin from the tomatoes and chop.

Wash and cut the zucchini into sticks. Saute'  them in a pan with ½ of the oil and one clove of chopped garlic. Add the vinegar, chopped mint and salt.

Place the cooked zucchini at the center of each fish filet and create a roll.

In a pan add, the rest of the chopped garlic and sauté the fish rolls for few minutes.  In the same pan, add the chopped tomatoes and warm up for a few minutes. Serve by placing the fish rolls around the tomatoes.
