Slane Srdele (Croatia)



Slane srdele, or salted sardines, is a Croatian dish that is prepared from May to August. The dish uses fresh sardines and coarse sea salt. Salt is put in an old tin or barrel and sardines are arranged on it. Then another layer of salt is added to the top of the sardines, followed by another layer of sardines, but facing the opposite direction of the ones below.

The last layer is always salt, and the sardines are covered with a wooden lid and weight. After the salted sardines are combined, they are stored in a dark and cold place for at least 3 months. During this time, the sardines will release water and oil.

All that's left is to wait a few months and then enjoy this Adriatic flavor.
