Venetian Sarde in Saor with Soft Polenta and Sunflower-Raisin Agrodolce
A Venetian classic — sardines layered over slow-sweated onion in white-wine vinegar, sweetened with raisins and warmed sunflower seeds, then served over a bowl of soft yellow polenta. Sarde in saor is the lagoon's answer to escabeche; one tin carries about 4× the daily B12 target.

Preparación
- 01
Bring 250g water and a pinch of salt to a simmer in a small saucepan. Whisk in the polenta in a steady stream. Reduce heat to low and cook 10-12 minutes, stirring often, until thick and creamy. Cover and set aside off the heat.
- 02
While the polenta cooks, heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onion, the bay leaf, and a pinch of salt. Cook 6 minutes, stirring, until soft and translucent.
- 03
Add the sunflower seeds and raisins. Toast 1 minute until the seeds smell warm.
- 04
Pour in the white wine vinegar. Simmer 1 minute to take the sharp edge off.
- 05
Lay the drained sardines over the onions. Cover and warm gently 2 minutes — do not stir or the sardines will break.
- 06
Spoon the soft polenta into a shallow bowl. Top with the sardines and the saor onions. Finish with parsley and a crack of black pepper.
