Sicilian-style roast sardines on skewers

Method

For 4 people you'll need 16 sardine fillets.

For the stuffing 

Make the stuffing by finely mincing 2 onions and a garlic clove, mixing thoroughly with 80g sultanas, 50g pine nuts and 100g breadcrumbs. Add enough extra virgin olive oil so the mixture comes together. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Put a little of this stuffing in each sardine fillet and roll it up from top to tail. Fix 4 of these fillets to each skewer, dividing each fillet with a fresh bay leaf.

For the dressing 

Make a dressing by whisking together 2 tsp of caster sugar, the juice of 2 lemons and 6 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil. Place the skewers in a baking dish and spoon on the dressing.

Bake in a preheated 200C oven for 10 minutes.

Serve immediately with a leaf salad.
