Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

A citrus-and-spice mixture from the Republic of Georgia. It is often used for poultry, but it goes well with swordfish too.
Grate the zest of 1 orange and 1 lemon; set aside. Juice the oranges and lemons. Combine the orange juice, lemon juice and wine in a saucepan and boil rapidly until only 1/2 cup liquid remains; let cool.
Combine onions, garlic and ginger in a bowl. Stir in the reduced juice mixture, grated zest, paprika, oil, sugar, peppercorns, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon sticks.
Makes 1 1/2 cups.
