Swordfish, Lime Sand and Sea Stars


























Spaghetti and Whole Wheat Fettuccini
Boil to al dente, drain and arrange as waves on plate.

Lime Sand
1/8 c corn meal
1/8 c whole wheat flour
1 t butter
1/2 c milk
1/2 lime, juiced
1/4 t salt
Mix corn meal and flour in pan with butter. Heat until thick mixture sticks together. Add lime juice,salt and milk and cook until absorbed.

Leek (sea grass)
Take the leaf of a leek and very thinly cut lengthwise and then in diagonal pieces about 2 inches long. This will approximate sea grass and is to be placed on top of lime sand. Boil until slightly soft.
Cut the white part of the leek in small pieces and separate rings to resemble bubbles. Boil until slightly soft and scatter on plate.

Swordfish
Pan fry in a pan sprayed with olive oil until cooked through. Place on top of wave pasta.

Sea stars
Slice sweet potato and carve 3 sea stars. Boil until slightly soft with a little rosemary. Arrange around swordfish.

Garnish with capers and lime slices. Serves 3-4.
