Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 teaspoons coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
8 small any color carrots (about 6 ounces total), scrubbed
2 small shallots, peeled
1 small serrano chile
1/3 cup sherry vinegar
6 radishes, trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/2 baguette, split in half lengthwise
1 garlic clove, peeled
3/4 cup mayonnaise
3 (3.75-ounce) cans sardines in water, drained
1 lemon
Special Equipment
A spice mill or mortar and pestle

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Toast coriander and fennel seeds in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes; let cool. Coarsely grind in spice mill or with mortar and pestle; transfer to a medium bowl.
  • Using a mandoline, shave carrots, shallots, and chile into thin rounds; transfer to bowl with spices. Add vinegar and season with salt. Using your hands, massage mixture 20-30 seconds (this is just to get the flavors to meld faster). Let sit 10 minutes.
  • Shave radishes on mandoline into bowl with carrot mixture and add 2 Tbsp. oil. Toss to combine and let vegetables sit another 5-10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, tear baguette halves into 4" pieces and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and bake until golden brown and edges are lightly charred, 5-8 minutes. Remove toast from oven and rub cut sides with garlic; season lightly with salt. Spread a layer of mayonnaise over each toast. Top with a few sardines, then drained vegetables. Finely grate a bit of lemon zest over each.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh vegetables: The fresher the vegetables, the better they will taste in the marinade.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will give your dish a more interesting flavor and texture.
  • Cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces: This will help them absorb the marinade more easily.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give your vegetables their tangy flavor. Be sure to use a recipe that you like the taste of.
  • Marinate the vegetables for at least 30 minutes: This will give them time to absorb the marinade and develop their flavor.
  • Drain the vegetables before serving: This will help to remove any excess marinade.
  • Serve the vegetables immediately: Tangy marinated vegetables are best served fresh.

Conclusion:

Tangy marinated vegetables are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With so many different marinade recipes to choose from, you are sure to find one that you love.
