Directions
Peel the carrot, red onion and clove of garlic and chop into fine dice. Cut the pepper and chilli in half and remove the seeds, chop into small dice and mix with the carrot.
Place the sardines on a tray with seasoning and some olive oil, place under a hot grill and cook for 3 minutes on one side, turn them over and cook on the other side. Make sure the skin is good and crispy as sardines are like mackerel - the skin must be crispy to add to the taste.
Dice the cucumber, and juice and zest the lemon and add to the diced vegetables, together with some olive oil and seasoning. Place the mix either in a pan and just warm or put in the microwave for a few seconds to warm up. Do not overheat or the cucumber will go to mush.
Add the chopped herbs, spoon over the sardines and serve with some chargrilled bread.
