Ingredients
- 1kg fresh sardines, cleaned
- 3 tablespoons (1/4 cup) plain flour
- 150ml extra virgin olive oil
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 carrot, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 2 fresh bay leaves

- 1/2 cup (125ml) dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/3 cup (4 tablespoons) sherry vinegar

Method
- Step 1Rinse sardines and dry with paper towel. Season flour with salt and pepper, then lightly dust fish in flour. Shake off excess.
- Step 2Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick frypan over medium heat. Cook fish in batches, adding more oil when necessary, for 2 minutes each side until just cooked. Place in a shallow glass or ceramic dish.
- Step 3Clean pan, then add remaining oil and cook onion for 3-4 minutes until softened but not coloured. Add garlic and carrot, and cook for 1 minute. Add remaining ingredients and 1/3 cup (80ml) water, then simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced slightly. Pour over fish and allow to cool, then cover and marinate in the fridge for 24 hours to 2 days. Serve with bread.
