Sarde in Saor

Sardines served this way make a traditional Venetian dish, and although the ingredients sound quite unusual, the final combination is delicious. You will find this on sale all over Venice, as it is extremely popular with the locals and there are lots of variations on the basic theme. Ideally, you should leave the dish to rest in the refrigerator for about 48 hours before eating it. Most important, however, is that the sardines are fat and meaty, and as fresh as possible.
