Sarde Alla Brace Barbecued Sardines Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a barbecue or indoor grill to 350 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place sardines on grill. Grill 4 minutes on each side (use medium heat setting on your barbecue or grill). Remove from heat.
• Place grilled sardines on serving plate, cut a fresh lemon in half. Squeeze half of the lemon over sardines. Slice the remaining half lemon and add lemon slices to the serving plate as garnish.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine first 6 ingredients to make a stuffing. Stuff sardines, layer in oven proof dish and bake for 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to broil.
• Lightly oil bread slices with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet. Place in oven and toast until golden brown and crisp.
• While toast is still warm, rub 1 side of each slice with the fresh garlic. Place 2 sardine fillets, silver skin side facing up, on each toast and put back on the baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper.
• Bake for 4 to 6 minutes. Remove tray from oven and garnish with just a squeeze of lemon juice and chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Scale and gut the sardines (you can have your fishmonger do this). Wash the sardines under cold, running water and pat dry with paper towels. Lightly salt the sardines with coarse sea salt and refrigerate. Meanwhile, boil 2 potatoes until a knife is easily inserted. Drain and cool.
• Roast 2 red bell peppers over an open flame until charred. Place in a bowl and cover it with plastic to allow it to steam for approximately 20 minutes. Remove the plastic and peel and seed the peppers.
• Cut peppers into 3-inch wide strips and combine in bowl with 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1/8 cup white wine vinegar, onion, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Preheat a grill.
• Place the sardines on a hot grill. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and place on the grill. When the sardines are done on first side, flip them over, and give the potatoes a quarter turn to create the grill marks.
• Place 3 sardines on each plate with 2 potato halves and some red pepper salad. For decoration and extra flavor, sprinkle with some thinly sliced onions and garlic over the sardines and drizzle with remaining olive oil.
• The ideal accompaniment for this dish is some Portuguese rolls and a nicely chilled Vinho Verde Portuguese wine.

Steps:

• Whisk together all marinade ingredients and marinate the sardines for 2 hours
• For the Salsa: Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl.
• Preheat grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill. Place the sardines on the preheated grill and discard marinade. Cook sardines for 5 to 7 minutes (depending on size) or until they flake easily with a fork. Serve with angel hair pasta, and/or antipasto salad, if desired.
