Method

1. Clean the sardines: pull the head off towards the belly so the innards come out with it, open the belly with your thumb and remove the backbone; rinse quickly and pat dry.
2. Peel and crush the garlic. Heat the oil in a wide pan over medium heat with the garlic for a minute, until just golden.
3. Add the peeled tomatoes crushed with a fork, the dried oregano, a pinch of salt and black pepper and cook for 8 minutes over medium heat, until the sauce thickens.
4. Lay the opened sardines in the sauce skin side up, cover and cook for 6 minutes over low heat, until the flesh is opaque; don't stir or they will break.
5. Finish with the washed and chopped parsley and serve with the bread to mop up the sauce.
