Sardines with Redcurrants Recipe

Ingredients :

Serves 4

• 2 tbsp redcurrant jelly

• finely grated rind of 1 lime

• 2 tbsp medium dry sherry

• 450g / 1lb fresh sardines, cleaned and heads removed

• freshly ground black pepper

• lime wedges, to garnish
  
  To serve :

• fresh redcurrants

• fresh green salad

Method :

1. Preheat the grill and line the grill rack with foil 2-3 minutes before cooking.

2. Warm the redcurrant jelly in a bowl standing over a pan of gently simmering water and stir until smooth. Add the lime rind and sherry to the bowl and stir well until blended.

3. Lightly rinse the sardines and pat dry with absorbent kitchen paper.

4. Place on a chopping board and, with a sharp knife, make several diagonal cuts across the flesh of each fish. Season the sardines inside the cavities with pepper.

5. Gently brush the warm marinade over the skin and inside the cavities of the sardines.

6. Place on the grill rack and cook under the preheated grill for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish are cooked. Carefully turn the sardines over at least once during grilling and baste occasionally with the remaining redcurrant and lime marinade.

7. Garnish with the redcurrants and serve immediately with the salad and lime wedges.
