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.
