To soften the intense taste of grilled pesce azzurro, you can often serve it with a matching sauce. In this case, instead of the classic mayonnaise, I chose a cannellini bean sauce which looks and taste like mayonnaise.
The beans give body and creaminess to the sauce, while the lemon juice gives the sour note that teams up perfectly with the grilled sardines. It is so good you'll want spread it directly on toast.
Born and bred in Tuscany, I am a food writer and a food photographer. I live in the countryside between Siena and Florence, where I also teach Tuscan cooking classes for locals and tourists. In 2017 my fifth cookery book will be published. As for every Tuscan home cook, legumes, especially beans and chickpeas, are part of my daily life and my culinary traditions.
