2 - Poivrade: cut the peppers in 2, remove the stalk and seeds, then chop. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a saucepan, add the garlic, cook for 1 min, then add the peppers. Season to taste. Lower the heat and cover. Stir every 5 min and cook for around 20 min.
3 - Grilled zucchinis : preheat the oven to 240°C (gas mark 8). Wash the zucchinis and remove the ends. Cut into 2 and shape into sticks. Pour into a bowl and add a drizzle of olive oil and the dried thyme. Place on a baking tray large enough to avoid overlapping the sticks. Bake for 10 min. Season with salt.
4 - Onion pickles: peel the onions, cut them into 2, then into petals. Bring the water, vinegar and sugar to the boil in a saucepan, then pour over the onion petals. Leave to cool.
5 - Sardines: remove the heads and gut the sardines. Barbecue until the skin is nicely colored.
6 - Presentation: place three small piles of peppers in the center of a flat plate. Add 5 zucchini sticks and arrange around 5 sardines. Add the sauce vierge and onion pickles for decoration.
