De emperador en graelles

Capitol en quina manera se deu aparellar lo emperador en graelles. Primerament pendras lemperador e tallaras lo axi com sil hauies de rostir e leuali la ventresca e vaja a rostir e vntaras lo ades ades ab oli: e apres fes lilo seu salsero çoes: such de toronges: e pebre: e oli: e sal: e vn poch de aygua e tot aço metras dins vna olla petita: e com lo Senyor voldra menjar pendras vn plat e met lo dintre e lançaras y aquell salsero damunt e ab aquestes herbes: çoes: joliuert: e menta: e moraduix.

Translation: (by Robin Carroll-Mann):

Swordfish on the grill

Cut the swordfish as if you were going to roast it, and remove everything that is inside; and set it to roast on the grill, greasing it with oil, little by little. Then make your light sauce which is orange juice, and pepper, and oil, and salt, and a little water; and you will put all this in a small pot, and when they want to eat, put it on a plate; and cast on the said sauce with the other herbs: parsley, and mint, and marjoram.

My Interpretation:

2 pounds Swordfish Steak

2 tsp salt for grilling ½ cup olive oil for grilling

1 cup Orange Herb Sauce

Brush swordfish with oil and sprinkle with salt and cook on a grill until desired doneness. Serve with Orange Herb Sauce.
