    Ingredients

    • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
    • 2 lemons, halved
    • 1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
    • 1 garlic clove, crushed
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 8 sardines, gutted, about 100g each
    • A few drops of Tabasco
    • Mixed salad, to serve

    Method

    • In a small bowl, combine lemon zest with 2 tsp lemon juice, crushed chilli pepper, minced garlic cloves and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

    • Cut the sardines on one side. Rub the lemon and olive oil mixture on the sardines, making sure it reaches the slits and inside of the body cavity.

    • Place the sardines in a griddle pan over medium-high heat, cooking for 3 minutes on each side. Once they’re finished, the flesh will flake away easily.

    • Place the lemon halves next to the fish for the final three minutes of cooking.

    • Serving Suggestions: Serve the sardines with a few drops of Tabasco, the grilled lemon slices and the assorted salad.
