Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced).
Combine the beans, tomatoes, garlic and oil in a small heavy-based ovenproof frying pan (25cm base measurement) or baking dish.
Crumble the stock cube into the boiling water in a jug and stir to dissolve, then pour over the bean mixture. Stir in the oregano and lemon slices and season with salt and pepper.
Bake for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the tomatoes start to collapse.
Place the sardines over the bean mixture and bake for a further 2-3 minutes or until just heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
Sprinkle with parsley. Serve hot with chargrilled baguette slices.
