Instructies
Brush both sides of the sardines with 1 tablespoon of the extra virgin olive oil and thin sprinkle over them 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the freshly ground black pepper.
Whilst you are doing this heat up the barbecue.
Once the barbecue is hot enough lightly oil the surface of the grill and them place the sardines on to it and cook them on a medium to high heat.
Cook each sardine for 2 minutes on each side.
Halfway through cooking the sardines you should also be cooking the slices of baguette that you will be serving with the fish.
But before placing the baguette slices on the barbecue first rub each side of them with the garlic and brush them with the rest of the olive oil.
Then sprinkle with the salt and pepper that is left over.
Cook each side of the bread for 1 minute or until they turn crisp.
As soon as everything is cooked place the sardines and bread on to a clean plate and serve with some lemon wedges to your guests.
