Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan). Thinly slice the onions and garlic and slice one lemon into rounds.

  2. 2

    Spread the onions across the base of a large baking dish and scatter over the garlic, lemon rounds, and bay leaves. Drizzle with half the olive oil.

  3. 3

    Lay the sardines on top in a single layer, season with salt, pepper, and oregano, then pour over the white wine and squeeze the juice of the remaining lemon.

  4. 4

    Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and bake for 25–30 minutes until the sardines are cooked through and the onions are soft.

  5. 5

    Leave to rest for 5 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature with bread and a green salad.
