BBQ Sardines with chermoula sauce
- Serves: 4
- Time: 15 minutes
- Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients:
10 sardines gutted (10 skewers)
2 tbsp olive oil
for the chermoula sauce
1 large pack coriander
1 small pack parsley
2 cloves of garlic
1 preserved lemon, skin only
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp chilli flakes
75ml extra virgin olive oil
Blitz all the ingredients for the chermoula sauce in a food processor (or finely chop) with a generous pinch of seasoning, then set aside.
Heat the barbecue for direct cooking. Rub the oil over the sardines and season well. Thread each fish from head to tail onto a skewer, making a few slashes with a knife to each if you like.
Cook the sardines over the glowing coals for 2-3 mins each side until cooked through and nicely charred. Drizzle over the chermoula sauce to serve.
