From time to time fresh sardines turn up at the fishmongers and what a treat they are. I have a way with sardines that I picked up from Alastair Little's restaurant. Simply rinse and pat the sardines dry - there is no real need to gut them - then grill them under a hot grill, turning them once during cooking. They will take only a few minutes on each side. Lay them on plates then drizzle them with lemon olive oil and grind over a little black pepper.
