Grilled sardines with green peppers

25 minutes

Grilled sardines with green peppers

By Phillippa Cheifitz

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

16-20 whole sardines, cleaned
Sea salt flakes
Olive oil
4 green peppers
Freshly ground black pepper
Steamed potatoes, for serving

Method

Season the sardines with salt and moisten with a little olive oil.
Halve the peppers lengthways and remove the seeds. Place the peppers cut side down on a ridged grill pan. Slide under a hot grill for about 15 minutes, until starting to char. Remove and wrap in a paper bag.
Arrange the sardines on the grill pan. Cook for a few minutes on each side, until crisp and golden. Season with black pepper.
Meanwhile, skin the peppers and dress with a spoonful or two of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve the grilled sardines and peppers with a bowl of steamed potatoes on the side.

TASTE’s take:
This is a Portuguese favourite. The sardines are usually chargrilled outside, although they’re also good cooked under a hot grill inside. The grilled green peppers and boiled potatoes are classic accompaniments, or add a simple tomato and onion salad dressed with vinegar and olive oil.
