Venice, the enchanting city built on water, is not only famous for its romantic gondolas and stunning architecture, but also its rich culinary traditions. One of the most beloved dishes in Venetian cuisine is Sarde in Saor, a flavorful and tangy marinated sardine dish. In this blog post, we will guide you through the steps of making this traditional Venetian recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 1 kg of fresh sardines
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 100g of raisins
  • 50g of pine nuts
  • 1 cup of white wine vinegar
  • 1 cup of white wine
  • 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons of flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Clean the sardines by removing their heads, scales, and guts. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.

2. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Coat the sardines in flour, shaking off any excess, and fry them in batches until golden and crispy. Drain the fried sardines on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

3. In a separate pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil and sauté the onions until they become soft and translucent.

4. Add the pine nuts and raisins to the pan, and continue to cook for a few minutes until the pine nuts obtain a golden color.

5. Pour in the white wine vinegar and white wine, and let it simmer over low heat until the liquid has reduced by half. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. In a large glass or ceramic dish, layer the fried sardines and the sautéed onion mixture, making sure to cover each layer with the marinade. Continue layering until all the ingredients are used.

7. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours. The longer it marinates, the more flavorful it becomes.

Serving:

Sarde in Saor is traditionally served as a cold appetizer. It can be enjoyed on its own, with crusty bread, or alongside polenta. The tangy and slightly sweet flavors of the dish make it a perfect accompaniment to a glass of crisp white wine.
