500g long aubergines

50g peeled almonds

1 sprig of mint

600g vine tomatoes

1 garlic clove

white wine

2. Remove the skin of the swordfish steaks and cut them into chunks. Coarsely grind the almonds, toast them for 2 mins in the pan and set aside. Add a little olive oil in the same pan and brown the garlic, add the swordfish and cook for 1 min. Pour a little wine and let it reduce. Add the diced tomatoes, a little salt and cook for another 1-2 mins.

3. Boil the ziti in the pasta pot until al dente and drain. Transfer them into a bowl with the sauce, the grilled aubergines, almonds, 4-5 chopped mint leaves, a drizzle of olive oil and gently stir.
