How to Make Sardine in Vine Leaves Recipe?

• Thoroughly clean and remove any residue from your peeled sardines by running them through cold water.
• After cleaning, put it in a strainer and let the water drain thoroughly.
• Put the sardines in a large bowl and add 4-5 tablespoons of olive oil, salt and black pepper and mix well.
• Let the sardines, which you have seasoned and added with olive oil, rest like this for 15-20 minutes.
• Place the vine leaves with the veined part on top, tear off the stems, and wrap the sardines by placing them inside this part.
• Continue wrapping until you run out of vine leaves.
• Place your grill pan on the stove and start heating it over medium heat. Pour the remaining olive oil into the pan and spread.
• After your pan is heated, place the wrapped sardines into the pan.
• When the vine leaves change color and fade slightly, turn them to the other surface and continue cooking. Each surface will cook for approximately 4-5 minutes.
