Author Notes
Tamari, orange and lime juices marinate swordfish kabobs to create tender, sweet morsels, both succulent and savory, with a caramelized golden crusty top and bottom. Grilling the red bell pepper and red onion chunks develops their natural sugars and tastiness. The cherry tomatoes burst in your mouth with intensified flavor. Fragrant jasmine rice is the perfect accompaniment to this dish. —Garden Gate Kate
