Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Remove the sardines' heads and tails and split the fish. Remove the bones and lay the sardines in a large bowl. Mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and parsley and pour it over the sardines. Chill for 5 hours.

  2. Step 2

    Place the beans in a pot with cold water to cover by 2 inches. Add the garlic, onion, peppercorns, vinegar, olive oil and salt. Bring to a boil and simmer, covered, until very tender, about 40 minutes. Drain.

  3. Step 3

    Refresh the beans under cold running water. Remove the peppercorns and stir in the lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil and thyme. Arrange the sardines and beans on plates and serve.
