How to Make Marinated Sardines
- Pat the sardines dry with paper towels and dust them lightly with flour.
- Heat 1/2 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the sardines in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1/2 cup olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chili peppers and sauté briefly until fragrant (about 30 seconds), being careful not to burn them.
- Pour in the white wine and white wine vinegar. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 minute.
- Stir in the chopped mint leaves. Remove from heat.
- Carefully pour the hot marinade over the fried sardines in a shallow dish.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Let the sardines marinate for at least 2 hours, or preferably longer, in the refrigerator before serving. The longer they marinate, the more flavorful they become.
