Skewered sardines with tartare dressing
Ingredients
- lemon - zest and juice 1 lemon
- olive-oil - 4 tbsp olive oil
- sardine - 12 sardines, cleaned, gutted and heads cut off (ask your fishmonger to do this)
- dill - small bunch dill, finely chopped
- parsley - small bunch parsley, finely chopped
- caper - 1 tbsp capers, drained and chopped
- cornichon - 2 tbsp cornichon, drained and finely chopped
- wooden-skewer - 8 wooden skewers, soaked in water
Instructions
- 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.
