First skewer the sardines, then add a tablespoon of lemon zest and mix it with the parsley, garlic, rosemary, olives and capers to a bowl. Grill your sardines with olive oil and make sure to salt and pepper them. From there, take them off and pour the seasoning bowl over them.

I used one can of cannellini and one can chickpeas and substituted spinach for the kale. I did not blend the beans but simmered longer than the recipe suggested. It was delicious and will definitely be make again.”
