Ingredients

  • pounds (800 g) fresh sardines
  • juice of 1 lemon

Method

Remove and discard the heads of the sardines. Make an incision along the belly of each fish, gut the fish, and then open it up like a book and remove the backbone. Rinse the fish well and close them up again.

Fill a bowl with water and add the lemon juice. One at a time, trim the artichokes, including their stems. Cut each artichoke in half lengthwise
