Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Pat the cleaned and butterflied sardines dry with paper towels. Season them lightly with salt and pepper.
Aproximativ 5 min.
2
Dredge each sardine in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess. Set aside on a plate.
Aproximativ 5 min.
3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep pot over medium-high heat until it reaches about 175°C (350°F).
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for best frying results.
4
Fry the sardines in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Aproximativ 10 min.
Nota bucătarului: Frying in batches helps maintain the oil temperature and ensures crispy sardines.
5
Remove the fried sardines with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with a pinch more salt while warm.
6
In a separate pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced yellow onions and sauté until softened and translucent, about 8-10 minutes.
Aproximativ 10 min.
7
Pour in the white wine vinegar and water. Add the sugar, bay leaves, pine nuts, and raisins. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Aproximativ 3 min.
8
Season the onion mixture with salt and pepper to taste, then remove it from the heat.
Aproximativ 1 min.
9
In a non-reactive dish or container, arrange a layer of fried sardines. Top with a layer of the warm onion mixture, ensuring the onions and liquid cover the fish.
Aproximativ 5 min.
10
Repeat layering until all sardines and onion mixture are used, finishing with a layer of onions. Ensure the fish is submerged in the marinade.
11
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
Aproximativ 4 ore
Nota bucătarului: The longer it marinates, the better the flavor.
12
Serve Sarde in Saor chilled or at room temperature.
