Ingredients:

Serving

20 fresh sardines , about 1 1/2 to 2 lb, scaled
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 red onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 red bell peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
4 tbsp red wine vinegar, mixed with 2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp crushed chile pepper
2 tbsp currants
2 tbsp sliced almonds
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh italian flat-leaf parsley
2 oranges , zested and juiced
1 anchovy, rinsed and filleted
1 cup bread crumbs
2 lemons sliced into 10 round slices
grated pecorino, for garnish

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Clean the sardines, leaving the head intact. Using your thumbnail, remove the spine from head to tail, careful to leave both head and tail intact. Rinse carefully to remove small bones. Set aside.
In a 12 to 14-inch saute pan, add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil and toss onions, garlic, and peppers. Heat through. Add vinegar and chile pepper stirring constantly, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and pour into a large mixing bowl. Add the currants, almonds, parsley, zest and half of orange juice. Mix well and set aside.
In a separate pan add the 1/4 cup of olive oil, anchovy, bread crumbs and toss until golden.
Lay the sardines on their backs, open like books, and place a heaping tablespoon of the bread crumb stuffing in each one. Carefully pinch each sardine closed.
Pour the peppers and onion mixture into a 12 to 14-inch casserole and lay the sardines on top of vegetables with a slice of lemon on each. Drizzle orange juice, place casserole in the oven and roast until just cooked through.
Serve family style with a sprinkle of bread crumb stuffing and pecorino cheese.
