Opening with a classy mix of lemon zest and grilled nuts, the palate is supple and juicy with ripe citrus and pear core depth, creamy texture and zesty acidity, which perfectly balances the oily nature of the fish. INGREDIENTS 12 boneless sardines, butterflied 1 large fennel bulb, sliced finely, fronds reserved 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil Stuffing 2 tbsp fresh white breadcrumbs 2 tbsp freshly chopped Italian parsley 3 tbsp freshly grated parmesan cheese 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 1 tsp sultanas 1 tbsp pinenuts Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 egg, lightly beaten Lemon wedges or cheeks to serve METHOD 1. Preheat oven to 190ºC (170ºC fan-forced). Combine stuffing ingredients in a small bowl. 2. Place fennel in a small baking dish and drizzle with half the oil. Lay out sardines flat, season and put a little stuffing, top with another sardine fillet, and place on top of fennel. Scatter over any remaining stuffing. Drizzle with remaining oil and season with salt and pepper. 3. Bake for 15–20 minutes or until cooked through. Serve scattered with fennel fronds. 4. Alternatively, roll sardines in plain flour, shaking off excess. Dip in beaten egg then roll in panko breadcrumbs and shallow fry in hot oil for 3 minutes each side. Drain on kitchen paper and serve with lemon Food Preparation time 10 Minutes Cooking time Up to 20 Minutes Serves 4 SHARE Perfect Match Ferngrove Sparkling Cuvée NV $17.00 in any 12 $18.00 in any 6 $20.00 each Price | options $17.00 in any 12 bottles Qty Add to cart Zilzie Butterfly Kiss Rosé 2020 $17.00 in any 12 $18.00 in any 6 $20.00 each Price | options $17.00 in any 12 bottles Qty Add to cart Gomersal Wines Riesling 2020 $17.00 in any 12 $18.00 in any 6 $20.00 each Price | options $17.00 in any 12 bottles Qty Add to cart Bimbadgen Ridge Chardonnay 2017 $17.00 in any 12 $18.00 in any 6 $20.00 each Price | options $17.00 in any 12 bottles Qty Add to cart Angove Studio Series Sauvignon Blanc 2021 $17.00 in any 12 $18.00 in any 6 $20.00 each Price | options $17.00 in any 12 bottles Qty Add to cart Ferngrove Black Label Merlot 2020 $18.70 in any 12 $19.80 in any 6 $22.00 each Price | options $18.70 in any 12 bottles Qty Add to cart Jackson's Hill Homestretch Pinot Noir 2020 $19.55 in any 12 $20.70 in any 6 $23.00 each Price | options $19.55 in any 12 bottles Qty Add to cart Trimboli Family Wines Two Cultures Pinot Noir 2021 $19.55 in any 12 $20.70 in any 6 $23.00 each Price | options $19.55 in any 12 bottles Qty Add to cart Voyager Estate Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2020 $20.40 in any 12 $21.60 in any 6 $24.00 each Price | options $20.40 in any 12 bottles Qty Add to cart De Bortoli The Estate Vineyard Gamay 2019 $21.25 in any 12 $22.50 in any 6 $25.00 each Price | options $21.25 in any 12 bottles Qty Add to cart Watkins Brut Rosé 2021 $21.25 in any 12 $22.50 in any 6 $25.00 each Price | options $21.25 in any 12 bottles Qty Add to cart Hunter's Dream Semillon 2014 $21.25 in any 12 $22.50 in any 6 $25.00 each Price | options $21.25 in any 12 bottles Qty Add to cart John Wallace Wines Maggie White 2021 $21.25 in any 12 $22.50 in any 6 $25.00 each Price | options $21.25 in any 12 bottles Qty Add to cart Wicks Estate Pinot Noir 2020 $21.25 in any 12 $22.50 in any 6 $25.00 each Price | options $21.25 in any 12 bottles Qty Add to cart Thistledown Gorgeous Grenache Rosé 2021 $21.25 in any 12 $22.50 in any 6 $25.00 each Price | options $21.25 in any 12 bottles Qty Add to cart Rochford Selection de Vignerons Rosé 2021 $22.95 in any 12 $24.30 in any 6 $27.00 each Price | options $22.95 in any 12 bottles Qty Add to cart Drop Zone Riesling 2021 $22.95 in any 12 $24.30 in any 6 $27.00 each Price | options $22.95 in any 12 bottles Qty Add to cart Apricus Hill Pinot Noir 2019 $23.80 in any 12 $25.20 in any 6 $28.00 each Price | options $23.80 in any 12 bottles Qty Add to cart Tamburlaine Point 65 Viognier 2019 $25.50 in any 12 $27.00 in any 6 $30.00 each Price | options $25.50 in any 12 bottles Qty Add to cart Z Wine Nevah Chardonnay 2019 $25.50 in any 12 $27.00 in any 6 $30.00 each Price | options $25.50 in any 12 bottles Qty Add to cart Two Blues Sauvignon Blanc 2014 1 case has been added to your cart.
