Grilled sardines

The aroma of grilled sardines reminds me of summer holidays in the Mediterranean; my father loved them. I have learnt to appreciate them so much more - when I was a child I hated all the bones, but I loved the smell, simply cooked over wood on the beach. This recipe has a spicy twist with the harissa.

Ingredients

  • 12 sardines, scaled, gutted and left whole 
  • olive oil, to brush
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to season
  • lemon wedges, harissa, Moroccan salad, to serve

Instructions

Wash the sardines well and pat dry.

Brush them with olive oil, season and grill quickly over a griddle plate or charcoals on the barbeque or under a domestic grill for about 3–4 minutes on either side. They should be cooked through and the skin will be slightly charred.

Serve with lemon wedges, harissa and a Moroccan salad.
