Method
- Preheat the grill or barbecue. In a bowl, mash the garlic, capers, shallot and anchovies to a rough paste. Add the lemon zest and half the juice, then stir in the olive oil and herbs. Season well.
- Stuff the sardines with the mixture, reserving a little for serving. Squeeze over the remaining lemon juice (plus 1 tbsp of olive oil if barbecuing) and grill or barbecue for 2–3 minutes each side. Transfer to a serving plate and spoon over the remaining salsa verde. Serve with the whole capers and some extra lemon wedges, if you like.
*Whole sardines may only be available in limited stores.
