Char-grilled Sardines with Salsa Verde

Method

1. 1

   Make salsa verde: finely chop herbs, capers, anchovy, and garlic. Stir in vinegar and olive oil. Season.

2. 2

   Rinse sardines, pat dry. Rub with olive oil and salt.

3. 3

   Heat BBQ or grill pan to very high.

4. 4

   Grill sardines 90 sec each side — no longer. They should blister but not dry out.

5. 5

   Transfer to a platter. Spoon salsa verde generously over.

6. 6

   Serve immediately with grilled sourdough to mop up the oils.
