Written by Sardines are fantastic on the braai and this easy Sicilian Sardines recipe by Macro Pierre White will take you through all the basics.
Sardines always remind me of Cape Town over New Year, celebrating the arrival of the new millennium. It was a restaurant, long since gone, on Kloof Rd, dining on some of the best sardines I’ve ever had.
With holidays upon us and the weather perfect for a braai, this is a great option to bring some simple variety to the menu, they make for great starters.
Ignore the fact that Marco is cooking this Sicilian Sardine recipe indoors, he’s English. This is a great fish braai recipe.
