Wash and drain the sardines and dry them on kitchen paper. Season with salt and pepper.
Cut the fennel root into thin slices.
Put olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and sauté the fennel root, douse with Ouzo, stir and cook until all the liquid is absorbed. Then remove from the heat and allow to cool. Put the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, marjoram, nutmeg, oregano, rosemary, lemon juice, roasted fennel root in a blender and beat until it becomes a smooth mixture. Stuff the sardines and bake in a preheated oven for 8 – 10 minutes at 200°C.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
