Buon appetito!

Upon request, we share the recipe of a traditional local dish: “sarde in saor” (Venetian Style sardines).
It is generally eaten as a starter or antipasto but it could also be served as main course.

Sarde in saor (Jewish-Venetian antipasto)

Ingredients:
1 kg of big fresh sardines
700g onion
50g pine nuts
50g raisins
2 glasses of wine vinegar

Preparation
Clean and gut the sardines. Remove the heads. Flour the sardines and fry them in oil. Rinse and dry the excess oil. Add vinegar, pine nuts and raisins. In a serving dish, alternate a layer of sardines and a layer of sautéed onions until you have laid all the sardines. Top with the remaining onions. Let it marinate and serve cold.
