Prep time
20 mins
Ingredients
- Olive Oil: 4 tbsp olive oil
- Dill: small bunch dill, finely chopped
- Parsley: small bunch parsley, finely chopped
- Lemon: zest and juice 1 lemon
- Caper: 1 tbsp capers, drained and chopped
- Sardine: 12 sardines, cleaned, gutted and heads cut off (ask your fishmonger to do this)
- Cornichon: 2 tbsp cornichon, drained and finely chopped
- Wooden Skewer: 8 wooden skewers, soaked in water
Directions
- Pour half the lemon juice and 1 tbsp olive oil over the sardines, then rub it into the fish's cavity and skin. Lay 2-3 sardines (depending on size) side by side and thread a skewer through the tail end and one through the head end, packing them closely together.
- To make the tartare dressing, combine the lemon zest and the rest of the juice and oil with the dill, parsley, capers, cornichons and some seasoning. Set aside.
- Season the sardines really well, then carefully lift them onto a hot barbecue. Cook for 3-4 mins on each side, carefully lifting the skewers to turn them, then transfer to a serving plate. Spoon over a little dressing and serve the rest on the side.
