Instructions

  1. Gently drain the sardine cans into a fine sieve set over a bowl.
  2. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add the drained oil from the sardines.
  3. Put the flour in a shallow bowl and gently coat each sardine on all sides.
  4. When the oil is hot, add the coated sardines in a single layer and fry for 2 minutes per side. Remove gently and set aside.
  5. In the same pan over the same heat, add the sliced garlic and crushed red pepper and stir constantly for 1–2 minutes, until the garlic is lightly browned. Turn off the heat, then stir in the paprika and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Transfer the sardines to a serving dish in a single layer, spoon the spicy garlic sauce over them, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve at once.
