Peperonata With Grilled Sardines

I cannot conceive it possible for anyone truly to receive Christ as Savior and yet not to receive him as Lord. A man who is really saved by grace does not need to be told that he is under solemn obligations to serve Christ. The new life within him tells him that. Instead of regarding it as a burden, he gladly surrenders himself – body, soul, and spirit- to the Lord who has redeemed him, reckoning this to be his reasonable service.

C.H. Spurgeon

INSTRUCTIONS

Note: See the "Basic Tomato Sauce" recipe which is included in this
collection.  Preheat grill or broiler. In a 12- to 14-inch saute pan,
saute onion  and garlic in olive oil over medium heat until soft and
translucent  (about 8 to 10 minutes). Halve peppers lengthwise and
remove stem  ribs and seeds and cut into 1/2-inch wide strips. When
onions are  soft, add peppers to pan and cook 5 minutes until softened.
Add  chile, sugar, thyme and Basic Tomato Sauce, bring to boil, lower
heat  and simmer 15 minutes. Taste for seasoning and set aside. Grill
or  broil sardines on hot barbecue until crisp and skin is slightly
charred (about 2 minutes per side). While grilling fish, divide
peperonata evenly on four dishes. Place two fish side by side on each
plate and serve. This recipe yields 4 servings.  Recipe Source: MOLTO
