Tunsia, my first taste of sardines


مرحبا

Tunsia, for this country I decided to cook a dish called grilled red mullet with lemonand celery salad.

Tunsia was a surprise to me. Firstly I must admit that I made two substitutions, I substituted sardines for red mullet as I couldn’t find red mullet. Secondly, I substituted lime for lemon as some silly person (me) happened to cross the lemon off the list before putting it in the trolley.

Anyway, back to the surprise, sardines with celery and lemon (actually lime) salad would typically be a meal that I thought would send me to Maccas. On the contrary the meal was quite nice. The rosemary, thyme and cumin complemented the sardines. The salad with celery, parsley, garlic, lemon (lime), olives, salt, chili and sumac was hot in places but surprisingly tasty.


I had never tasted sardines before and much to my surprise I found they tasted quite nice, my preference is still for larger fish though.
