- Gradually add the vegetable oil while processing, until the sauce becomes smooth. Adjust the seasoning by adding more salt if necessary.
- Slide the sardines onto skewers and season generously with salt.
Cooking
- Heat a grill or a cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Grill the sardines for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they are beautifully charred and cooked through.
Serving
- Serve the sardines hot on a colorful platter.
- Drizzle the vibrant green sauce generously over the skewers and accompany them with fresh lemon wedges.
Notes
Choose the freshest sardines available. For a twist, consider marinating the sardines in the green sauce for about 30 minutes before grilling. Enhance the sauce with hot sauce for heat or mint for freshness.
