How are you grilling the swordfish - over charcoal or in a grill pan indoors? I generally do swordfish indoors so that I can put a domed lid over the grill pan to keep the fish from drying out, and I add some mushrooms and/or zucchini, which add moisture. Anyway, I normally grill mushrooms, zucchini, onions, red bell pepper, etc when I grill swordfish, and I think grilled vegetables would be a welcome addition to orzo even if it does have vegetables in it. I also always serve tartar sauce with grilled swordfish, and this helps in case the fish is a bit dry. Swordfish is very lean and therefore does not absorb much smoke flavor from charcoal, unlike salmon. BTW, grilled swordfish is one of my very favorite meals!

Another thing you can grill with it is garlic toast. To make the toast, slice some Italian or sourdough very thickly and spread with butter that has been combined with mashed garlic, olive oil, and black pepper (and salt if using unsalted butter). Grill the bread at the edge of the grill so that it will cook more slowly.

I think Lars is on the right track with a grilled vegetable side. Maybe even grilled fruit like peaches or figs with a balsamic reduction drizzle.

Something that goes well with the dill? Home-grown green beans are in the markets now. Put some dill butter on them.

All great suggestions! I love the idea of garlic toast and also green beans. That could be because I love them both.

I will try to grill a peach in advance. I've never done that but peaches are my favorite fruit.

Peaches work out great on the grill. Another thing that's yummy is to grill pineapple rings with rum and brown sugar brushed on.

Do you just peel the peach, cut it in half and throw it on the grill?

From About.com:

"Peaches are a natural for the grill, where quick cooking brings out juiciness and intensifies sweetness.

Start with peaches that are firm with just a little give when you give them a gentle squeeze with your whole hand.

Cut the peaches in half and pit them. You can grill entire peach halves or cut them into wedges. Peeling the peaches isn't necessary for the grill, but you certainly can peel them, if you like.

Brush cut side(s) of the peaches with a neutral-tasting oil, like grapeseed or canola.

Cook peaches over a medium fire on both sides until grill marks show and peaches are tender but not falling apart.

Serve grilled peaches plain or in salads. Or turn them into delicious desserts by pairing grilled peaches with cool yogurt, whipped cream, or with scoops of ice cream."

Make sure the area where you grill the peaches is cleaned of any meaty residue.

Sounds good -- and easy. Thanks.
