Ingredients
- 12 or 16 fresh sardines (3 or 4 per person, depending on their size)
- 180 ml (3/4 cup) olive oil
- Juice of 2 lemons
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 30 to 45 ml (2 to 3 tbsp) fresh coriander, minced
Preparation
- Clean and oil the barbecue grill, preheat it to 180 °C (375 °F).
- Rinse and drain the sardines.
- In a bowl, mix together a bit of oil and a few drops of lemon juice.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the sardines and stir well so they are well-coated with marinade. Set aside.
- In another bowl, mix together a vinaigrette with the rest of the lemon juice and oil, the garlic, coriander and black pepper. Set aside.
- Remove the sardines from the marinade and drain slightly.
- Grill on both sides for 5 to 6 minutes, depending on their size.
- Turn off the barbecue, close the lid and allow sardines to finish cooking.
- Place the sardines on a large serving plate.
- Top with the vinaigrette.
- Serve with a green salad and black olives.
Note:
Adding some vinaigrette is much easier than removing it! Just use half of the vinaigrette to sprinkle the sardines and offer the rest of the vinaigrette in a sauceboat. Your guests will then be able to adjust the seasoning to their taste.
