CATALAN-STYLE FRESH SARDINE ESCABECHE
Steps:
- Whisk together matzo meal and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Pat fish dry and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Dredge in matzo meal to lightly coat, shaking off excess.
- Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Fry fish in 3 batches, turning if necessary, until just cooked through, about 1 minute for sardines or 2 to 3 minutes for mackerel. Transfer with a slotted spoon to shallow dish.
- Reduce heat to medium and cook garlic in oil remaining in skillet until it just turns golden, about 30 seconds. Add onion and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add paprika and oregano and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add wine, vinegar, cinnamon stick, zests, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes. Cool sauce to room temperature, then pour over fish and marinate, chilled, at least 12 hours.
- Bring to room temperature before serving and season with salt if necessary.
- What to drink:
- Yarden Galilee Cabernet Sauvignon '05

Steps:
- Prepare the fresh or frozen sardines as follows: Cut the heads off the sardines. Split each sardine along the belly and clean them if needed. Turn them over so the backbone is on top. Press down along the backbone to loosen it and carefully remove it from the fish. Remove any other bones that you find.
- Dust the sardines with the seasoned flour.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan. Fry the sardines 3-4 minutes each side. Remove the sardines from the oil and let cool on a plate.
- Place the fish in a single layer in a baking pan.
- Add 6 tablespoons of oil to the oil in the frying pan. Cook the onions over a low heat until soft. Add the garlic and cook for a minute.
- Add the bay leaves, cloves, chili pepper, paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Fry for two or three minutes.
- Add the vinegar and wine. Bring to a boil, then pour over sardines. Let cool and then cover. Refrigerate overnight.
- Before serving the sardines, place the red onion, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes on a cookie sheet and roast in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes.
- Place the sardines two to a plate. Garnish with the roasted vegetables.

SARDINE AND VEGETABLE SAUTE
This is a quick, easy one-pan dish that takes minutes to prep and cook. I made this in a grab-what-you've-got-and-cook-it moment and it was an unexpected hit. I was rather surprised at how it turned out. The sardines are more savory than "fishy" and go well with this combination of veggies. Putting the oil, seasonings, and vegetables together in a gallon zip lock baggie and tumbling to coat the vegetables distributes the flavor more evenly from the start and the dish requires less stirring in the pan to mix. I use tomato paste that comes in a tube to cut down on waste.
