    12 oz $2.49
  • Fresh Organic Lemon
    1 medium lemon, juiced to yield 3 tbsp $1.29

    1 tsp
  • Smoked paprika
    1 tsp
  • Kosher salt
    3/4 tsp
  • Black pepper
    1/4 tsp
  • Caparzo Sangiovese Toscana
    1 bottle $17.99

Instructions

  1. Preheat a grill to medium-high, about 425°F, for 10 minutes; clean and lightly oil the grates without adding extra cooking oil.
  2. Pound 12 oz chicken breast fillets to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Mix 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper; coat the 12 oz chicken in the mixture and marinate for 10 minutes.
  3. While the 12 oz chicken marinates, cut 12 oz tomatoes into wedges and thinly slice 2 green onions. Toss the 12 oz tomatoes and 2 green onions with 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 1/4 tsp kosher salt.
  4. Grill the marinated 12 oz chicken for 5 to 6 minutes per side, closing the lid between turns, until lightly charred and the thickest part reaches 165°F.
  5. Rest the grilled 12 oz chicken for 5 minutes, then slice it across the grain; allow the mixture containing 12 oz tomatoes to stand during the rest so its juices form a light dressing.
  6. Plate 6 oz sliced chicken per person and spoon 6 oz tomatoes per person, along with their herb dressing, beside the chicken.

Wine picks:

  • Caparzo Sangiovese Toscana $17.99 1 bottle
  • Il Bastardo Sangiovese di Toscana $12.99 1 bottle

Why it works: The smoky paprika-coriander chicken and juicy, lemony tomato relish favor bright, savory Sangiovese with fresh acidity. Caparzo brings a more polished Tuscan expression, while Il Bastardo offers an affordable, fruit-forward alternative that will stay lively alongside the cilantro and grilled char.

Instructions

  1. Preheat a grill to medium-high, about 425°F, for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, finely dice 1 medium cucumber, 1 medium Roma tomato, and 1/4 cup Walla Walla sweet onion; chop 1/4 cup parsley and mince 1 garlic clove.
  2. Rinse 1/2 cup jasmine rice. Combine the 1/2 cup rinsed jasmine rice, 3/4 cup water, 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a small saucepan.

Wine picks:

  • Chateau Ste. Michelle Sauvignon Blanc Washington White Wine $9.99 1 bottle, well chilled
  • Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough $13.99 1 bottle, well chilled

Why it works: The salmon’s sumac and lemon, along with the cooling cucumber-herb salad, call for a chilled, high-acid Sauvignon Blanc. These bottles add citrus and herbal lift while staying crisp against the grilled fish and turmeric rice.

Instructions

  1. Cut 12 ounces swordfish into 1-inch pieces, pat dry, and season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Dice 12 ounces Roma tomatoes, mince 2 garlic cloves, and chop 1/4 cup parsley into two 2-tablespoon portions.
  2. Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/3 cup breadcrumbs and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt; cook for 3 minutes, stirring, until golden. Remove from the heat, stir in 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, and transfer the breadcrumb topping to a bowl.
  3. Bring 2 quarts water and 1 tablespoon kosher salt to a boil. Add 6 ounces linguine and cook until al dente, about 9 minutes; reserve 1/4 cup pasta water before draining.
  4. While the linguine cooks, heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned 12 ounces swordfish and sear for 3–4 minutes, turning once, until opaque and 145°F in the center; transfer to a plate.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium and add 2 teaspoons olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes to the skillet. Cook for 30 seconds, add 12 ounces diced Roma tomatoes, and cook for 6 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup Kirkland Signature Toscana wine and 2 tablespoons drained capers; simmer for 2 minutes.
  6. Add the cooked 6 ounces linguine, seared 12 ounces swordfish, 1/4 cup reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons chopped parsley to the skillet. Toss gently for 1–2 minutes, until the sauce coats the pasta and the swordfish is hot.
  7. Divide the swordfish linguine between 2 shallow bowls, top each serving with half of the 1/3 cup breadcrumb topping, and plate immediately.

Wine picks:

  • Caparzo Sangiovese Toscana $17.99 750 ml
  • Frescobaldi Remole Tuscany Sangiovese Based Italy Red Wine $12.99 750 ml

Why it works: The dish’s tomato, caper, garlic, chili, and breadcrumb accents strongly favor bright, savory Sangiovese over the heavier Cabernet options. Serve slightly cool, echoing the recipe’s Toscana pairing note.
