Grilled Sardines Recipe

Fresh sardines are flavorful and firm-fleshed, and quite different in taste and consistency from those canned in oil. They are excellent plainly grilled and served with lemon.

Ingredients:

1 kg/ 2 lb


45 ml/ 3 tbsp

 

fresh sardines, gutted & with heads removed
olive oil, for brushing
salt and ground black pepper
chopped fresh parsley &
lemon wedges, to garnish

Method:

1. Preheat the grill. Rinse the sardines inside and out with cold running water. Pat dry thoroughly with kitchen paper.

2. Brush the sardines lightly with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Place the sardines in a single layer on the grill pan. Grill for 3-4 minutes.

3. Turn, and cook for 3-4 minutes more, or until the skins begin to brown. Serve immediately, garnished with the chopped parsley and lemon wedges.
