Ingredients

12 fresh sardines, headless, cleaned, and boneless (500 g)
1 teaspoon salt
half teaspoon AJI-NO-MOTO®
half cup (tea) dry white wine (100 ml)
2 tablespoons (soup) lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 stale French roll, toasted and grated
1 small onion, chopped
4 tablespoons (soup) chopped Brazil nuts
2 tablespoons (soup) chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon (soup) TERRANO® Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Modo de preparo

In a large bowl, place the sardines, salt, AJI-NO-MOTO®, wine, lemon juice, and half the garlic, and mix. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to marinate.
In a medium bowl, place the French roll, onion, Brazil nuts, cilantro, and remaining garlic, and mix.
On a clean, flat surface, arrange the sardines open and spread the bread mixture. Fold the sardines in half, transfer to a medium baking dish, and arrange them side by side. Drizzle with the marinade, cover with aluminum foil, and bake in a medium oven (180 degrees), preheated, for 20 minutes, or until the sardines are cooked. Remove the foil and return to the oven for another 15 minutes, or until the sardines are golden.
Remove from the oven, drizzle with TERRANO® Olive Oil, and serve immediately.
