Fried Swordfish Milanese Style with Wild Oregano and Anchovy (Serves 2)

6 Salted anchovy fillets
A chunk of 1 – 2 day old bread
1 level tablespoon wild dried oregano (on the branch if possible)
2 – 4 thin slices of swordfish
A few tablespoons plain flour
1 egg beaten
Vegetable oil for frying
1 lemon

Put the anchovy fillets, bread and oregano into the food processor and whiz until you have fine crumbs. Dip the swordfish into first the flour, then the egg and lastly the breadcrumb mixture. Pour some vegetable oil into a hot, heavy – based frying pan, give it a few minutes to get to a good hot temperature. Carefully lay the swordfish into the pan and fry gently for 3 – 4 minutes either side, until the crumb is a nice crisp golden brown. Before putting on serving plates finish with a good squeeze of lemon

To serve:

A Caprese salad with ripe tomatoes and mozzarella is a perfect accompaniment, as is a bowl of haricot beans dressed with olive oil, garlic, sea salt and parsley.
