"BARBECUED SARDINES WITH MINT AND LEMON COURGETTES
Serves 4
Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 20 mins
8 large or 12 medium fresh sardines
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sea salt
4 courgettes
1 lemon, quartered
Dressing: 20 fresh mint leaves, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil.
METHOD: Gut and clean the sardines if somebody nice has not already done so. Slice the courgettes thinly lengthwise. Brush them with olive oil and grill both sides for about three minutes until well-marked, and remove to a serving platter.
In a bowl, whisk the lemon juice and olive oil with the mint leaves, sea salt and pepper, and drizzle over the courgettes.
Brush the sardines with some extra olive oil and scatter with sea salt. Cook them lightly on one side, then turn them while they are still firm, and leave to cook on the other side until the skin is scorched and bubbling.
Serve with the grilled courgettes, a tomato salad and a wedge of lemon. No barbie? Then do it under the kitchen grill, out of the rain.
