Barbeque
Lemon Sardines
Sardines
are a very popular Spanish lunch, the fish are usually just
baked and served with boiled potatoes or simply fresh bread
and olive oil. Cooking sardines on the barbeque is again,
very popular and also presents the opportunity to cook the
sardines in a slightly different way taking advantage of
the hot coals and getting that lovely smokey flavour. This
recipe for sardines is very simple using lemon and thyme,
great tapas or as a starter.
