In this recipe from Dani Carnero, fresh sardines are cooked on Spanish pan de aceite, and served with a side of sweet onion broth, macerated tomatoes and an oyster water foam. This recipe tastes best cooked over an open fire, but can also be replicated using a grill.
While the onion broth cooks, macerate the tinned plum tomatoes for 1 hour with some juniper berries and enough olive oil to cover
Add the gelatine leaves to the oyster water, and warm it very gently until the gelatine dissolves. Add this liquid to the siphon
Gut and fillet the sardines, and cut the pan de aceite into slices the size of the sardine fillets
Lay the sardines on top of the bread and cook in a pan gently until the sardines are cooked through
To serve, plate up the sardine and toasted bread, and place the onion broth in a small bowl. Add some of the marinated tomato into an oyster shell and garnish with the coriander. Finish with some of the oyster water from the siphon
