Marseille

The name 'sardine' comes from Sardinia, where the ancient Greeks living on this Mediterranean island noticed the fish was abundant in its coastal waters. Sardines are rich in protein, calcium, vitamin D, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids. Mediterranean cities are full of sardine recipes. Today, I'm making croquettes—small patties to enjoy with a fresh mint sauce or aioli. You can almost hear the cicadas singing—it's Marseille!
