4 servings · 55 minutes (estimated)

Ingredients
Quantities for 4 servings.
- 1.5 kg Sardines, whole, large
- 150 g Coarse salt
- 8 slice Country bread
- 800 g Potatoes
- 3 piece Bell peppers
- 100 ml Olive oil
- 3 clove Garlic
- 3 tbsp Wine vinegar
- 20 g Parsley
Method
- Rinse the sardines without gutting them and pat them dry on the outside.
- Bury the fish in coarse salt on all sides and leave it half an hour at room temperature.
- Light the coals and let them ash over; an open flame burns the skin within a minute.
- Char the peppers on the coals, peel them and dress them with oil, garlic and vinegar.
- Shake the excess salt off the fish and lay them on a hot, oiled grate.
- Grill four minutes a side, turning them exactly once.
- Lay the sardines on slices of bread and serve with boiled potatoes and the pepper salad.
