Translation


Sauce for Bonito: Pepper, oregano, mint, onion, a little vinegar, oil.

Method:

Whisk together the ingredients for the vinaigrette and serve over the fish. This goes well with crisp-fried sardines or whitebait and also works with any boiled, or baked fish (it can also be used with cold fish and works excellently with tuna sashimi).
