Grilled Sardines with Tomato, Arugula, and Pecorino Cheese
Ingredients
- 18 fresh Mediterranean sardines, cleaned
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 bunches baby arugula
- 4 ripe heirloom tomatoes, chopped
- Juice from 3 lemons
- 1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
- 5 ounces Pecorino cheese, shaved
Instructions
Heat the grill to medium-high (if your grill has a temperature gauge, heat to 350 degrees). Brush the sardines with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 4 minutes on each side. (Alternatively, you can pan-fry the sardines on medium-high heat.)
In a mixing bowl, toss the arugula, tomato, remaining olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Divide into 6 portions and top each portion with sardines, chopped parsley, and shaved Pecorino cheese.
